Jamf Pro automatically creates and installs an associated EDU profile on the teacher devices and student iPads. This profile allows student and teacher devices to communicate. It also ensures that students can log in to a Shared iPad device if Shared iPad has been enabled on the iPad.

Note:

  • If you change the site of a class, devices in the class are removed from the class. Users that are not already added to the new site are also removed from the class.

  • Deleting a class also deletes the EDU profile from devices in the class.

  1. In Jamf Pro, click Computers or Devices in the sidebar.
  2. Click Classes.
  3. To create a new class, click New and do the following:
    1. Use the General payload to enter a display name and description for the class.
    2. Add students to the class using the Students payload or the Student User Groups payload.
    3. Add teachers to the class using the Teachers payload or the Teacher User Groups payload.
  4. Add computers or mobile devices to the class by doing the following:

    • Add mobile device groups to the class using the Mobile Device Groups payload.

    • Add computers to the class by adding students that are assigned to computers.

  5. (Optional) If your environment uses Shared iPad, do the following:
    1. Use the Restrictions payload to restrict which apps are available to users on Shared iPad.
    2. Use the Home Screen Layout payload to configure the layout of the Dock and the pages on the iPad.
  6. Click Save .

Teachers can now log in to Apple's Classroom app on their iPads to control student iPads. For more information on using Classroom, see Apple's Classroom User Guide.
