In today’s classrooms, digital identity is more than just a login—it’s the foundation of a student’s learning journey. From signing in to apps, accessing coursework, or switching between devices, students and educators need seamless, secure access to the tools that power teaching and learning. That’s why we’re excited to share what Jamf’s acquisition of Identity Automation means for your school system.
Learning doesn’t just happen in one place or on one device. A student might begin a project on a classroom iPad, continue it on a Chromebook or Windows laptop at home, and present it from a MacBook in the media center. Identity Automation has always made sure users can access what they need, when they need it—safely and seamlessly. Now, with Jamf, we’re taking that one step further.
While Jamf is the leader in Apple device management for education, today’s schools support diverse device environments. With the integration of Identity Automation, Jamf extends identity beyond the device, anchoring it directly to the individual—wherever learning takes place. Regardless of the platform or device, students and educators remain protected and focused on what matters most: learning.
With Jamf and Identity Automation together, your school system gets a complete, end-to-end solution for identity, access, and device management:
Pair Identity Automation’s SSO and provisioning with Jamf’s mobile device management to create a frictionless login experience across all devices and apps, whether on Apple or mixed platforms.
Automatically configure, deploy, and manage Macs, iPads, and Apple TVs across your district or campus. Give students and teachers a consistent, reliable experience—without increasing IT workload.
Automate user account creation, changes and deletion at scale, keeping downstream systems (including Active Directory and Google) accurate and up to date.
Using Jamf and Apple School Manager, devices arrive ready to go. No manual setup, no IT intervention—just open the box and start learning.
Enable self-service app installs, automate common troubleshooting, and remote device support remotely.
Effortlessly sync class roster data to provide teachers and students access to digital applications, freeing up IT teams to focus on more strategic initiatives.
Keep learners safe and focused with content filtering, app restrictions, screen monitoring, cutting edge phishing protection, compromised credential monitoring, and more—at school or remotely.
Don’t use Apple Devices, or use an Apple management vendor other than Jamf? No worries! Your RapidIdentity experience remains exactly the same. No functionality is being lost or deprecated.
With Identity Automation and Jamf, your school no longer has to choose between best-in-class Apple management and powerful identity and access solutions. Together, we create a seamless, secure learning environment where technology just works—and works for you. Your students stay focused. Your teachers stay supported. And your IT team gains peace of mind.
Welcome to the future of learning—with identity at its core.
