Set up managed apple ID on iPad via MDMSolved

Hi! I’ve enrolled a number of ipads in Hexnode using the ABM enrollment method. I’m doubtful if we can also push the managed apple ids on the enrolled devices? Is there any way we can push it using an MDM command or maybe a configuration profile? Did a hell lot of googling but didn’t find anything. Would appreciate any inputs.

Thanks.

You couldnt find anything because it’s simply not possible. Adding a managed apple id on the device is a manual process that should be done out from the device end by the user. There’s no way to remotely set it up remotely using MDM commands as of now.

Thanks @luuk . That’s what I thought too. If only there was a way to set this up. We don’t want the users to sign in using any other apple IDs other than the managed apple ids provided to them.

Have been in a somewhat similar boat recently. If you’re requirement is to enforce the managed apple id on the device, Apple have not rolled out this feature yet. Please raise this as a feature request using their feedback assistant so that they’re aware of this requirement.
