Q: Disable iCloud for users on OS X
We have some MacBooks on a school that the pupils can use. In that context i'm interested to know if it's possible to disable iCloud for the local users so they aren't allowed to assosiate their appleid with the computer?
I've tried to look after the possibility in parental controls but haven't find the option.
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

The iCloud preference won't even show up in System Preferences. So, your students wouldn't even have the ability to launch iCloud preferences to sign into iCloud. They could still sign in to the Web based iCloud via Safari but Find My Phone in Web based iCloud is not the same as Find My Mac in OS X iCloud preferences. Find My Phone just shows a map of where Macs, iPads and Phones are located. Find My Mac would have to be enabled and that's only enabled via iCloud preferences on the Mac.
