setup Shared iPad for Business

Shared iPad can also be used in business, Multiple users can use the iPad and the USer experiences can be like a personal device, even though the device is shared.

To set up the Shared iPad it requires an MDM solution, Apple Business Manager and Managed Apple ID created using Microsoft Azure.

Shared iPad Support on:
iPad Pro
iPad 5th Gen
iPad Air 2
iPad mini 4th Gen

iPadOS 13.4

Following setup had to be done in MDM:

When Setting up the AutoEnrollment configuration select Shared iPad.

Sign into shared iPad:

1. Once the Device is configured Enter the  Manage Apple ID Username and Password
2.Create a Shared iPad Password
3. Next time when you use the iPad, use Manage Apple ID user name and shared iPad Password.

 Shared iPad Temporary Session

In iPadOS 13.4 or later, any user can initiate a temporary session without the need for a username or password by tapping Guest at the login screen. All their data — including browsing history — is deleted when the user signs out.

Using Temporary Sessions with Shared iPad also prevents users from modifying account settings or signing into Apple services. For example, users can’t create new mail accounts in Settings or sign in to the App Store.

Note: Shared iPad Temporary session can be disable using MDM.

• Jamf Pro includes three components: 
  1. Java: a runtime environment required by Apache Tomcat and the Jamf Pro web application 
  2. Apache Tomcat: a web server 
  3. MySQL: an open source relational database management system 

• The physical location of the Jamf Pro server depends on each organization’s needs. There are two options: 
  1. Hosted by Jamf in a cloud environment 
  2. Hosted by an organization in their server environment using macOS, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), or Windows Server 

• Navigating Jamf Pro: 
  • Dashboard, Sidebar, Objects, and Buttons 
  • Computers, Devices, and Users 
  • Settings button 
  • Keyboard shortcuts
    • 
      
  • Buildings and Departments can be created to organize the devices managed by Jamf Pro.
