It's somewhat hidden in the Passwords section of System Settings and it works with most iOS and macOS apps, web browsers, and other tools that require authentication.

Until now, Managed Apple IDs haven’t had full access to these features. The two biggest iCloud capabilities are data backups and syncing across multiple devices. (When used, they appear in System Settings on a device as a second Apple ID.) What’s new with Managed Apple IDs and what's the iCloud connection?Īpple IDs offer access to core iCloud services and Continuity features that work only when the same ID is associated with two or more devices. Like Apple Business Manager, Managed Apple IDs are also connected to an organization’s mobile device management (MDM) software and can be used with personal or company-owned Apple devices. Because Apple Business Manager supports federation with most cloud-based enterprise identity providers such as Azure AD and Google Workspace or solutions using oAuth or Okta (full Okta support is coming later this year), the creation of managed Apple IDs can be completely automated with the IDs matched to each user’s enterprise credentials.

This is partially how Apple creates a bright line between work and personal use on a device. Managed Apple IDs allow businesses to support some of these functions on managed Apple devices using an account created and controlled by an employer.

Users can also make backups using iCloud and can access much of that data via the web using. ICloud features let a user sync almost anything - contacts, appointments, reminders, photos, passwords and app-specific data - across all their Apple devices. In the consumer world, an Apple ID is a user’s central credential for all things Apple it's used for App Store purchases, services such as Apple Music and Apple TV+, FaceTime, device activation, Apple’s Find My network, Activation Lock for lost/stolen devices, Continuity features for working across multiple devices, and any feature related to iCloud.
