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.
