Add managers in Apple School Manager
If you have other people in your organization who will manage people, devices, and content, you can add them in Apple School Manager. This lets you spread out responsibility for managing specific tasks—for example, in a large school district or college, where departments may want to manage their own mobile device management (MDM) solution and student list.
Managers can do the following, depending on the type of manager they are:
Add students, staff, and classes: Create an ongoing connection to your Student Information System (SIS), or upload .csv files using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).
Set up devices: Enroll Apple devices in your MDM solution during device activation, and skip basic setup steps to get users up and running quickly.
Buy and distribute content: Buy licenses for content so they can be assigned (and in the case of apps, reassigned) by your MDM solution.
Configure iTunes U: Add iTunes U information to Apple School Manager.
