Issue:

I'm trying to turn off the security features of Linux Security 64 or Elements Linux Protection, but I receive the error: "operation not permitted by policy" when trying to run master-switch off command. 

Resolution:

If you receive the error: "operation not permitted by policy" when trying to run master-switch off command or master-switch disable, it means that you have from the profile settings disallowed a local admin users from stopping the security features.
