When you enable the Apple education support setting, Jamf Pro generates an EDU profile that is installed on an iPad or computer when the device is added to a class in Jamf Pro for use with Apple's Classroom app. The EDU profile configures the device with user and class information. For information about enabling Shared iPad during enrollment, see Automated Device Enrollment for Mobile Devices.
