Use the Apple Students template in Apple School Manager
Use the Apple Students template to import student accounts using SFTP. The person_id value needs to be unique for all locations. See Password policy scenarios.
You can also assign more than one location to a student by adding more location columns to this template. You can add up to 998 more location columns—named location_id_2, location_id_3, and so on, up to location_id_999. For each student, you can optionally enter another location_id in each of these columns. This needs to match a location_id in the Locations template. If this entry doesn’t match, the upload process fails. See Apple Locations template.
Note: If federated authentication is turned on, an email address is required. Additionally, if the specified email address uses a federated domain, that email address needs to be unique. If the email address is in a federated domain, the user account is also be federated. See Intro to federated authentication.
