Managed Apple ID

Plain-English definition, in the context of supervised iPhone protection.

By Yisrael Schneider, Manager ·

An Apple ID created and governed by an organization (not the user). Students at a day school using Apple School Manager get Managed Apple IDs. Different from consumer Apple IDs in that the organization can reset passwords, audit usage, and terminate accounts. Rare for our residential customers; used in institutional deployments.
