Intro to user accounts in Apple School Manager
Accounts in Apple School Manager are copied from your Student Information System (SIS), uploaded from .csv files using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), or linked to by using federated authentication. They can also be manually created.
If you are connected to your SIS, each user account has read-only information from the source. Additional information, such as the Managed Apple ID and associated password, is added to the account information in Apple School Manager. At no time is data written back to your SIS.
Each user account may have the following information associated with it, which can be viewed in the account list or when an account is selected:
Status with the user’s image, if provided, and source
First, middle, and last name
Managed Apple ID
Role and location
Email address, if provided
Managed Apple ID password policy
Grade level, if provided
Person Number and Person ID
When an account is copied from Azure AD using SCIM to Apple School Manager, the following user attributes can be edited:
