Managed Apple IDs

A Managed Apple Account is a type of Apple account specifically designed for organizations, such as businesses or educational institutions. These accounts are created and managed by the organization, separate from personal Apple accounts, to help increase productivity and provide necessary services to employees, instructors, and students. See About Managed Apple Accounts for more details.

Federated Accounts	Use a Microsoft Entra ID connection to federate your Managed Apple IDs. Note: Managed Apple IDs are required for enrolling users via federated accounts. See Intro to Federated Authentication with Apple Business Manager for more details.
Local Accounts	Add locally Managed Apple ID accounts. You can add up to 1,000 accounts, which must be valid email addresses (for example, `user@domain` or `user@domain.topleveldomain`). Tip: Select Import to upload a `.csv` file containing Managed Apple IDs. Include only Managed Apple IDs, one per line, with no header. Note: Managed Apple IDs for local accounts must be manually generated. See About Managed Apple Accounts in Apple Business Manager for more details.
