Managed Apple Account

Managed Apple Accounts are a special type of Apple account designed specifically for use in organizations like businesses or schools. They allow an organization to own both the account and the data within it, making them a key component for any deployment.

Recent updates to Managed Apple Accounts include:

1. iCloud Support: Managed Apple Accounts now support a wide range of Apple apps and services, including continuity, developer tools, and passkeys.

2. Domain Management: IT admins can now streamline the domain capture process and ensure all accounts are using the organization's domain. This includes the ability to limit new Apple accounts created on their domain to only be managed Apple accounts.

3. Account Conversion: Users have the option to convert their existing personal accounts into managed Apple accounts. If no action is taken after 30 days, the account remains personal and is renamed automatically.

4. Data Separation: Using either device enrollment or user enrollment with a managed Apple account enables data separation in iCloud Drive, Notes, Reminders, and more. Personal data remains private, even on organization-owned devices.
