If users do not have Managed Apple Accounts, you must manually invite the users to register their personal Apple Accounts with volume purchasing.

Keep the following in mind when configuring invitations:

  • Users are connected to the App Store and prompted to enter their Apple Account to complete the registration process.

  • Invitations made available in Self Service are accessible on any device assigned to a user.

  • If a user receives more than one invitation, they must accept each invitation individually.

  • When users attempt to install apps and books before registering with volume purchasing, they are prompted to accept the invitation before the app or book installs.

Requirements

  • A volume location integrated with Jamf Pro

    For more information, see Volume Purchasing Integration.

  • One or both invitation distribution methods enabled:

  1. In Jamf Pro, click Users in the sidebar.
  2. Click Invitations.
  3. Click New.
  4. Use the General pane to configure basic settings for the invitation, including the location and the method to use for sending the invitation.
    Note:

    The invitation is automatically added to the site that the location belongs to.

  5. Click the Scope tab and configure the scope of the invitation.
    Note:

    If the site of the location is changed at any point, users that do not belong to that location's site are removed from the scope of the invitation.

An invitation is immediately sent to the users you specified. You can view the status of the invitation in the list of invitations.
