Maximum resident users

You can define, in the DEPAutomated Device Enrollment profile, the maximum number of users that can use a Shared iPad. Note: this only configures how many slices the user space will be divided into. For instance, on a 128 GB iPad, if you allocate 10 max users, each user will have an equal amount of storage space for personal data. Ten students can log into the device and will have a nearly instant login once their data is cached on the device. If an 11th student logs in, the oldest account will be deleted to free space for this user - so the login will be pretty long (sync user 1 data to iCloud, remove user 1 data from device, download user 11 data from iCloud).

User Management

There is a new entry in the Client Info dialog showing users on a shared device:

It returns data regarding who is logged in and the amount of space used by that user.
You can:

• Delete a user's current cache on a device: next login will be slower, but this will save a slot
• Log a user out
