When you integrate Jamf School with Apple School Manager, you choose Jamf School user criteria to match with Apple School Manager user criteria. Users that are imported to Jamf School are matched to existing users in Jamf School based on the selected user criteria.

If you are syncing from Apple School Manager and have pre-existing manually created usernames or usernames synced from LDAP having the same username in Apple School Manager, you want to match the pre-existing usernames already in Jamf School so only one record with roster information synchronizes without creating duplicates.

The following table displays the criteria you can use to match imported users from Apple School Manager to existing users in Jamf School:

Note:

If the Email is unavailable, Jamf School will use the Managed Apple Account or the username before the "@" in the Managed Apple Account to match the user. For more information about the differences between Managed Apple Account and personal Apple Account, see About Managed Apple Accounts in Apple School Manager in the Apple School Manager User Guide.
