Sign in to Shared iPad with Apple Business Manager
The Shared iPad sign-in process varies depending on how you’ve configured Apple Business Manager. If you use federated authentication, the first time a user signs in, they enter their Google Workspace or Azure AD user name and password. For user accounts that that use Apple for authentication, the user enters their Managed Apple ID and password generated in Apple Business Manager.
Tip: You can bring up the Wi-Fi picker on Shared iPad while at the sign-in screen by pressing the Home button or Touch ID sensor twice or the Sleep/Wake button twice on an iPad without a Home button.
