Lock a domain in Apple Business Essentials
When a domain is locked, the organization can then 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. To remove the lock, the domain must be removed.
Important: Locking a domain permanently prevents anyone from creating an Apple Account using that domain.
