Apple Classroom: Macs with standard accounts

Is there any roadmap for getting classroom to work with MDMs and standard accounts? I know it works for mobile accounts as well as having teachers/students sign into their Apple Account. We have moved away from mobile accounts and would still like compatibility with MDM instad of having everyone sign in.

If the root of what you're trying to get at here is that when you move off mobile accounts, you no longer have access to a user channel for deploying these configurations to users in your environment - it would be helpful if you could file a Feedback with your Developer account with additional details like:

  • how are users initially created on your device (including by name any third-party products that may or may not be involved with the login experience)
  • how many users are using any one device
  • what MDM solution is involved

Feel free to post the FB# in this thread once you've done so, or if you've already filed something along these lines.

If this is not what you're thinking of here, please add additional context and I'll see if I can answer!
