Use Sign in with Apple in Apple School Manager
Sign in with Apple at Work & School is a feature that adds support for Managed Apple IDs to sign in with Apple. Staff, instructors and students can sign in with their Managed Apple IDs to access apps and websites that support Sign in with Apple. Administrators, Site Managers and People Managers can control which apps can use Sign in with Apple. To use Sign in with Apple at Work & School, Apple devices must be running iOS 16, iPadOS 16.1, or macOS 13 or later.
Note: If a student signs in on a device that is not managed, a verification code is required. For more information, see Send verification codes.
Organisational data sharing
Organisational data sharing uses a REST API called Roster API. With it, third-party education apps can automatically access and sync user and class information that is in Apple School Manager. This saves Apple School Manager administrators and instructors from the manual task of creating student and class records using a third-party app or service.
The Administrator and Site Manager can also:
manually approve access through a standard OAuth authorization flow so that the third-party app can fetch data
revoke data sharing at any time
limit which apps are allowed to connect to the Roster API by creating a list of allowed apps.
