How to Sign Into Shared Apple Devices After Federation Using Your Managed Apple ID

Overview: 

When an organization enables Apple ID Federation, users can log in to Apple devices and services using their Managed Apple ID. These accounts are connected to the organization’s identity provider (such as Microsoft Azure AD or Google Workspace) and allow seamless access to work resources on shared Apple devices.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for signing into shared Apple devices using your Managed Apple ID, ensuring proper access to organizational tools and data.

Instructions: 

1. Verify Your Managed Apple ID

• Your Managed Apple ID typically follows the format provided by your organization, such as username@matsugov.us.
• Ensure you have the correct credentials, including your username and password. Contact your IT administrator if you are unsure.

2. Prepare the Shared Device

• Ensure the shared Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) is powered on and connected to the internet.
• Confirm the device is organization-managed and set up to accept Managed Apple ID sign-ins.

3. Sign In on an iPhone or iPad

1. On the device's Home screen, open the Settings app.
2. Tap Sign In to Your iPhone/iPad at the top of the screen.
3. Enter your Managed Apple ID and tap Next.
4. Enter your password and complete any additional authentication steps required by your organization (e.g., two-factor authentication or single sign-on).
5. Once signed in, you will gain access to organization-managed resources such as iCloud Drive, apps, and files.
