Automated Device Enrollment options for Apple devices
Apple devices whose serial numbers appear in Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager can be automatically enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. For these devices, the following enrollments options can be configured.
Note: To learn which MDM enrollment options are supported for your devices, consult your MDM vendor’s documentation.
Option | Usage |
|---|---|
Prompt user to enroll device | The device prompts the user to enroll the device in MDM, and you can specify the settings below. |
Prevent unenrollment | A supervised iOS or iPadOS device can’t be unenrolled by the user. Mac computers can be unenrolled if the user has Super User (root) access. |
Require credentials for enrollment | Users need to authenticate to a directory service before they enroll a device in MDM. |
Automatically advance through Setup Assistant | A supervised Apple TV is automatically configured without any user intervention, provided no other Setup Assistant panes are enabled. |
Supervise device (iOS 12 or earlier) | The device is supervised during enrollment and can’t be unenrolled by the user. |
The following options can be configured when supervision is enabled.
Option | Usage |
|---|---|
Configure as Shared iPad | Students can’t use Shared iPad. |
Number of Shared iPad users | Enter the number of students who may potentially use this iPad. For best results, the number of students should be low. |
