How can I setup shared iPad with Apple Business Manager?

As I See in your documentations this feature should now also be available for business and not only for schools any more.

But I could not setup my new iPad like this.

I used Apple Configurator 2 (prepared with shared iPad) and had a MDM configured in my Apple Business Manager but after the setup it is still only possible to login with one account?

Du you have a step by step documentation on how to set the devices up?

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi

Finally I made it and was able to set it up - the Problem was the wrong url for the MDM when preparing the iPad.

Now I have the problem that I cannot configure profiles per users on the shared iPad.

Is this even possible with profile manager?

Multiple users feature is not available for iPad OS. But you can do it with your MDM. If your MDM provide offers automated profile switch (based on time), the iPad can be turned into a shared device, operating at two different times.
