Set Up Students
To allow students to log in on Shared iPad, you need to ensure that the student’s Managed Apple ID is entered in the Roster category of user inventory information. To do this, you can create new users or edit existing users in the Users tab.
The following information can be specified in the Roster category of user inventory information:
-
Full Name from Roster—This is the name that you created for the student in Apple School Manager.
-
Managed Apple ID—This information is required to use Shared iPad.
-
Password Requirement—This requires students to set their passcode to the specified number of passcode characters and is required to use Shared iPad. You can choose to require a four-digit numeric code, a six-digit numeric code, or a complex code. Choosing “complex” allows students to set an alpha-numeric passcode.
After you enter Roster information for students in user inventory information, you can create a user group that contains students with Managed Apple IDs in your environment. This allows you to add a smart or static user group when you create a class in the JSS for use with Apple’s Classroom app.
