Enable Apple Education Support

The Apple Education Support settings allow you to enable support for Shared iPad and Apple’s Classroom app.

When you enable Apple Education Support, you allow iPads to be enrolled with Jamf Pro as Shared iPad using a mobile device PreStage enrollment. In addition, you allow classes in Jamf Pro to be configured for use with Apple’s Classroom app.

You can also enable user images as a part of Apple Education Support. When you enable user images, you allow a user image or student photo to be displayed in the Classroom app and on the login screen for Shared iPads, as well as in the inventory information for each user. For instructions on preparing to use user images, see Prepare to Enable User Images.

Requirements

To enable Apple Education Support in Jamf Pro, you need the following:

  • Jamf Pro 9.9 or later

  • Supervised iPads with iOS 9.3 or later

  • A valid push certificate in Jamf Pro (For more information, see the Push Certificates section of the Jamf Pro Administrator’s Guide.)
