Question
Do students need an Apple Account to install applications if apps are deployed by Jamf School?
Answer
No, it is not required to use an Apple Account on devices if you are using Volume Purchasing apps distributed to devices with Jamf School. For information on deploying Volume Purchasing apps to devices, see: Apps Purchased in Volume.
The following requirements must be met:
Volume Purchasing must be integrated with Jamf School, see: https://learn.jamf.com/bundle/jamf-school-documentation/page/Volume_Purchasing_Integration.html
App licenses for these applications must be purchased in Apple School Manager even if they are free applications. If no app licenses were purchased, end users will be prompted to login with an Apple Account when the application is deployed to devices.
NOTE: For unsupervised devices, end users will be prompted on their devices to accept the installation.
