Barrington 220 Managed Apple IDs

Barrington 220 will soon be providing managed Apple IDs for use by staff and students. Your Apple ID is the key to accessing additional Apple services, especially the Collaboration features among key apps such as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.

These new Apple IDs will be tied to staff and student district email addresses. We are aware that staff and students have used their Barrington 220 email address to create personal Apple IDs, and Apple has a process to address these situations that we will roll out in the coming weeks.

There are some key differences between managed Apple IDs and personal Apple IDs:

Feature	Personal Apple ID	Managed Apple ID
Who Creates It?	User	School/District Tech Team
iCloud Storage	5GB free (+ paid options)	50GB free
Device Access	Any Apple device	School-managed devices
App Store Purchases	Allowed	Not allowed
Apple Music	Yes	No
Find My Device	Yes	No
Family Sharing	Yes	No
Collaboration	Yes, with iCloud Drive	Yes, within school network
Password Control	User-managed	School-managed

Managed Apple IDs enhance data security, provide centralized app and service management, and enable collaboration for staff and students in Apple apps such as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.

More details will soon be shared with staff and students regarding our managed Apple IDs, including how staff and students can update their personal Apple ID if it currently uses a district email address.

Stay tuned…
