Before we let the pupils have a go we need to be able to
- set a passcode
- not allow pupils to change it
- nor the changing the timeout before the lock kicks in
Looking forward to suggestions.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Manually enable restrictions on each device and enroll in an MDM so even if a passcode is set it can be remotely reset.
Thank you for your suggestion, but it seems to still allow pupils to change passcodes.
We envisage the central management updates to take place at the end of the day, not after each lesson.
You cannot disable this function. If you have students assigned to specific ipads or have them sign them out from the cart/trolley you can set an acceptable use policy that forbids changing device settings and punish those who violate it. If the device is locked you just go back to the last student to use it and enforce the policy. If you enroll the devices in free MDM like Meraki you can reset any device at any time with the click of a mouse.
To add to what gyr said, we are testing AirWatch and it has a sweet clear passcode feature
Password lock - school trolley use
