I need to be able to administer 150 apple ids used on iPads in a corporate environment
much the same way a parent can administer their children
I especially need to be able to change the apple id password
It was not good enough to request that people didn't change it
In a corporate environment, you no longer need to assign an individual apple id per device. You use an mdm instead.
Consider Apple Business Manager. Select an MDM, Mobile Device Management.

I definitely agree with you rccharles. We too are using an MDM solution MobiLock to manage 300 iPads for our corporate environment. It makes easier for Admin to have control over these devices.
