Q: Location Services, "Find My iPhone" and Restricting iCloud Account
Hello all,
I'm relatively a beginner with Apple. Our organization just purchased a MDM solution and are beginning to set restrictions in policies. I'm finding that I don't have that granular control that I'm used to with Windows Group Policy and Active Directory. Instead of trying to figure everything out, I'd like to just start with the minimum requirements.
1. We want to force users to have a screen lock with a passcode. This one is a slam dunk. Not having any issues with this.
2. We want to force location services to stay on for "Find My iPhone". Our MDM solution has a way to track location, but it is not as accurate as I'd like. Also, I believe that "Find My iPhone" can turn on location services in lost mode and send a tone.
3. In order to utilize "Find My iPhone", we need to have the iCloud account locked down so that the end user cannot log out of the account. The problem here is that the settings that I've found restricts every single account on the iPad/iPhone. I can't find a way to just lock down the iCloud account.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
