When your GlobalProtect administrator configures GlobalProtect with the

Always On

connect method, the connection initiates automatically. Depending on whether your administrator configures the GlobalProtect app to

Save User Credentials

, you can establish the GlobalProtect connection without launching the app. If your administrator enables GlobalProtect to

Save User Credentials

, the connection establishes automatically without requiring any user interaction. If your administrator does not enable GlobalProtect to

Save User Credentials

, you must sign in through the app to establish the connection.
