Service access with Managed Apple IDs in Apple School Manager
Certain services are disabled when you use Managed Apple IDs in Apple School Manager. Which services are disabled depends on whether or not the user is on a Shared iPad.
See Mobile Device Management Settings for IT Administrators: Shared iPad and Managed Apple IDs.
Note: Some of these services can be configured by your mobile device management (MDM) solution or toggled in Control Center.
Additionally, Managed Apple IDs are prevented from enrolling in private courses created outside the user’s organization. For example, Managed Apple IDs can subscribe to any public course or public collection, and can enroll in any private course created by a Managed Apple ID within the same organization.
