About Managed Apple IDs for education
Your school or district can use Managed Apple IDs to sign in to Shared iPad, or to access Apple services on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. These services include iCloud and Schoolwork, remote learning features in Classroom, and collaboration in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote with other users within your organization. Managed Apple IDs also include 200GB of iCloud storage.
To maintain a focus on education, these services are disabled for Managed Apple IDs:
- App Store purchasing
- iTunes Store purchasing
- Book Store purchasing
- HomeKit connected devices
- Apple Pay
- Find My
- iCloud Mail
- iCloud Keychain (although, keychain items are saved and restored on Shared iPad devices)
- iCloud Family Sharing
- Game Center
Because Managed Apple IDs can’t make purchases, administrators assign content to your Managed Apple ID or assigned devices.
Administrators can enable or disable the following services for Managed Apple IDs:
- FaceTime
- iMessage
- Sharing photos and Pages, Numbers, and Keynote documents either within or outside your organization
- Looking up other Managed Apple IDs within your organization
- The ability to request a copy of the data associated with your Managed Apple ID
Not all services are available in all countries or regions.
