Force Managed Apple ID Use (ABM)

DatITguy — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 14:46:40 GMT

Is there a way to force users to log into their managed Apple IDs during device setup with or without DEP? We are using Apple Business Manager with federation. I want to know if we can force this on our end users so that we know they are specifically using that Apple ID on company owned devices and not have it be logged out. I could possibly see this being done through enrollment authentication, but since iOS devices can't be configured with Azure AD, that our only option is to use Meraki Managed. Is this even an option?

@DatITguy From all of my dealings with iOS devices and enrollment I have never seen an option to restrict device to only use a specific managed Apple IDs.

That would be an amazing feature as I am sure in some cases users enter their own personal Apple ID.

So, firstly, Systems Manager support the use of Azure, and Google natively when Enrolling devices. This means that you get to see which user has which device

However, Apple Managed ID is also leveraged when using shared iPad. I believe this is currently the ONLY place where it's leveraged.

It's crazy to think that with ASM you sync your users up with Meraki but with ABM you cannot. It feels like the functionality should exist for both systems as they are mostly the same.
