Lock a domain in Apple Business Essentials
When locking a domain, only the organization can create new Managed Apple Accounts using the verified domain. Existing Apple Accounts created before enabling the lock remain untouched. This option helps to ensure that moving forward all accounts using the domain are organizationally owned.
Note: Locking a domain is a permanent process. To remove the lock, the domain must be removed from Apple Business Manager.
