Windows 10 MDM - How to enable 'Let Windows keep me connected'?

Question

I just got through setting up an eSIM with MDM using eUICCS CSP. Now, I'm trying to have that cellular connection always be 'Connected'. As of now, the end user has to go-to cellular in the settings and click 'Connect'.

Is there a CSP or Policy that allows MDM to enable the 'Let Windows keep me connected' so that it can autoconnect using the cellular?

The Connectivity/AllowCellularData policy and Cellular/LetAppsAccessCellularData don't do the job.

*Note - I'm utilizing the windows CSP APIs to work with MDM - I am not using intune.

Hey, @Limitless Technology ! Thanks for taking the time to answer. However, I need to find out how to accomplish this using MDM and CSP APIs only. There can't be any interaction on the end-users machine. So anything that involves clicking into screens or accessing adapters won't work.
