Information
Apple's Customise User Access offers admins much greater granular control over users and the access of devices, services and apps.
- Perhaps it is desirable to block iCloud or only allow iCloud on Managed devices.
- Which Apps should be allowed to use iCloud?
- Maybe organisational users should be the only ones allowed to collaborate with Pages, Numbers or Keynote files.
- Should iMessage or FaceTime be allowed and if so, who should this include?
- Can an Apple ID log into all or only some devices?
Then there's examples of management regarding developers and testing Apple OS releases and other options for students, instructors and security.
The above features are all managed through the Apple Business or School Manager portal. Please follow the links provided for configuration of each feature.
