  • One or more teacher users with login credentials assigned to the teacher user group

  • One or more student users with login credentials assigned to a student user group

Jamf School Student is now set to guest mode. This allows guest access to the library for users to download apps, books, and documents.

  • Jamf School Student installed automatically on student devices that you want to install the app on. For more information, see Jamf School Student Integration with Jamf School.
