Managed Apple Accounts (Formerly 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.
