Requirements

To set up Shared iPad, you need:

• Supervised iPads with iOS 9.3 or later enrolled via Automated Device Enrollment (formerly DEP)

• Teachers and classes synced to Apple School Manager (For more information, see Synchronization.)

• Education profile installed on teacher devices

• An iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, or iPad mini 4

• iPads with at least 32 GB of storage

  Note: On devices with 32 GB of storage, each user needs a minimum of 1 GB. On devices with 64 GB of storage, each user needs a minimum of 2 GB.

Enrolling Shared iPads

To enroll a Shared iPad, you must configure a Automated Device Enrollment profile (DEP profile) with Shared iPads enabled. For more information, see Automated Device Enrollment. You can also configure the storage quota per user on Shared iPads with iOS or iPadOS 13.4 or later by using the Shared iPad User Storage Quota pop-up menu in the Automated Device Enrollment profile (DEP profile) settings. This overrides the Max. number of users setting when it is configured.

1. In Jamf School, navigate to Organization > Settings in the sidebar.

2. Click the Shared iPad payload.

3. Enter the name that you want to display on the sign in screen in the Organization name field.

   Note: The Automatically configure Apple Classroom based on Classes and Users in Jamf School setting must be disabled in the Apple Classroom settings for this feature to work.
