About Managed Apple IDs for business

Learn how to use the Managed Apple ID that your company assigns to you.

This article is for users who have Managed Apple IDs. If you’re an IT administrator, learn more about how to create and use Managed Apple IDs with Apple Business Manager.

Your company can create Managed Apple IDs for employees to use for business purposes. Managed Apple IDs are unique to your company and separate from Apple IDs that you can create for yourself. You can associate your Managed Apple ID with the same email address and phone number as your personal Apple ID. Unlike with personal Apple IDs, IT administrators manage the services that your Managed Apple ID can access.

Check feature availability

Your employees can use Apple services including iCloud and collaboration with iWork and Notes, but because Managed Apple IDs are for business purposes only, certain features are disabled to protect each organization. Managed Apple IDs also include 5GB of iCloud storage.

Because Managed Apple IDs can’t make purchases, administrators may assign content to your Managed Apple ID or assigned devices.

Not all services are available in all countries or regions.

About your username and password

After your company creates your account, you can use your Managed Apple ID. Your Managed Apple ID might include your company’s name or «appleid.» For example, your ID might look like johnappleseed@appleid.mycompany.com.

Your company’s Apple B

usiness Manager administrator sets up your account name. If there’s a mistake in your username, or if you need to change your account information, contact your company’s administrator.

Create your password

When you sign in to your Managed Apple ID for the first time, use the temporary password that your administrator provides you. After you sign in, you’ll be prompted to set up a new password. You must finish setting up your password before you can sign in to some Apple services.

If you’re a People Manager, Device Manager, Content Manager, or other staff member, sign in to appleid.apple.com on your Mac or iOS device to set up your password. You must use a standard password that includes eight or more numbers and letters.

Reset your password

Unlike with personal Apple IDs, your administrator resets your password. Follow these steps to create a new password:

1. Contact your administrator to get a temporary password.
2. Use your temporary password to sign in to a shared iPad or sign in to iCloud on your device. Or, if your role has access, sign in to Apple Business Manager with your temporary password.
3. Create a new password.

Managed Apple ID passwords can’t be reset from the Apple ID account page or iforgot.apple.com.

Sign in with your Managed Apple ID

To log in to devices that are set up with Apple Business Manager, use your Managed Apple ID and password. To sign in to devices not set up with Apple Business Manager, follow the steps for your role:

• Staff: Use your Managed Apple ID or password.
• People Managers, Device Managers, and Content Managers: Use your Managed Apple ID and password with two-factor authentication.

Administrator access to your account

The company that issues your Managed Apple ID owns your account. Your IT administrators can access your account at any time and make the following changes:

• Restrict access to your account
• Remove your account
• Update your account information

Check the policy that your People Managers, Device Managers, and Content Managers have for the personal use of Managed Apple IDs.

Update your account information

If you’re a People Manager, Device Manager, or Content Manager, use the Apple ID account page to manage and update your account information. To change your trusted devices, you must be a People Manager, Device Manager, or Content Manager.

If you’re a staff member, check with an administrator to update your account information.

Ready. Set.
Done.

Whether your organization has ten devices or ten thousand, Apple fits easily into your existing infrastructure. Zero-touch deployment allows IT to configure and manage remotely, and IT can tailor the setup process to any team. So every Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV is ready to go from the start.

You’re in control
with Apple
Business Manager.

Apple Business Manager is a web-based portal that helps you deploy iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. And you can easily provide employees with access to Apple services, set up device enrollment, and distribute apps, books, and software — all from one place.

Devices

Enroll devices to be set up automatically with mobile device management (MDM). Streamline and customize the setup process for employees.

Content

Easily buy apps and books for employees. And distribute custom apps within your organization.

People

Create Managed Apple IDs for employees and assign privileges for additional users on your IT team.

Integrate with any environment.

Wi-Fi and Networking. Apple devices have secure wireless network connectivity built in. iOS, iPadOS, and macOS all provide the built-in security to access those wireless networks, including industry-standard WPA3-Enterprise and 802.1X. When an Apple device is used on a Cisco network, Fast Lane prioritizes the most critical business apps so that employees have uninterrupted access. And enhanced roaming capabilities ensure that iPhone and iPad remain connected as they travel across access points.

VPN. Easily configure Apple devices for secure access to your corporate network through built-in support for VPN. Out of the box, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS support the industry-standard networks IKEv2, Cisco IPsec, and L2TP over IPsec. Apple devices also support VPN On Demand, Always On VPN, and Per App VPN for facilitating connections on a much more granular basis for managed apps or specific domains. Whatever method your business chooses, data in transit is protected.

Email. iPhone, iPad, and Mac work with Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, and other popular email services, like G Suite, for instant access to push email, calendar, contacts, and tasks over an encrypted SSL connection. And Exchange support is built right into the Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Reminders apps on iPhone and iPad — making it intuitive for employees to perform common tasks such as accepting meeting invitations and finding contacts in the Global Address List.

File Providers. The Files app in iOS and iPadOS and the Finder in macOS let employees instantly access their third-party cloud services — like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Google Drive — so they have all of their files on all of their devices. The Files app and the Finder also have built-in support for file sharing with SMB and WebDAV, ensuring that employees can access the corporate file servers seamlessly on all their Apple devices.

Directory Services. Apple devices can access directory services for managing identity and other user data, including Active Directory, LDAP, and Open Directory. Some MDM vendors provide tools to integrate their management solutions with Active Directory and LDAP directories — right out of the box. And for organizations using on-premise Active Directory, a first-party Kerberos extension provides password management and Kerberos ticket management for signing in to internal apps and websites.

Identity Providers. The latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS support a new single sign-on (SSO) extension framework, allowing users to sign in to a corporate application once without being asked again for other apps or websites. This feature enables advanced multifactor authentication, supported by participating identity providers, whenever users sign in to a corporate resource. IT teams can also now configure authentication from cloud identity providers during initial enrollment and device setup.

Upgrade your organization to Apple Business Manager

Upgrade to Apple Business Manager to continue using the Device Enrollment Program and Volume Purchase Program. Apple Deployment Programs are no longer available as of December 1, 2019.

If your organization currently uses the Device Enrollment Program (DEP), you need to upgrade to Apple Business Manager. If your organization only uses the Volume Purchase Program (VPP), you can enroll in Apple Business Manager and then invite existing VPP Purchasers to your new Apple Business Manager account.

Apple Business Manager lets you buy content and configure automatic device enrollment in your mobile device management (MDM) solution. Apple Business Manager is accessible on the web, and is designed for technology managers and IT administrators.

Your Apple Business Manager Administrator can change the default domain after upgrading as well as add additional domains. Any domains that are added after enrolling must be verified before they can be used for Managed Apple IDs.

Allow employees to personalize their devices.

Beyond the basic company setup, employees can personalize their devices and choose the perfect set of apps that will work for them.

Share the responsibility of support.

Many people already know how to use and support Apple devices, so the responsibility of daily maintenance is shared between IT and the end user.

We let employees choose what they use and overwhelmingly they choose Apple products. It enables them to be more productive, and work the way that they want to work.
