[ipad] ipad & configurator set passcode

[Jayellcee]

So we have over 100 ipads in our primary (managed with configurator) and at the moment they are set not to use passcodes, as we thought it would be annoying if the children changed them.

The new DPO has told us to use passcodes!

Have looked in configuratro but can't find what I need.

I need to be able to set a passcode that the children cannot change

Anyone know if this is possible?

To verify, using Apple Configuirator 2?

 

I have not set a passcode, but there is no option to block it I can see.

[Jayellcee]

Yes configurator2.

Have looked through the options and can't see one either

You have to Supervise the iPads to allow you to untick the "allow modify passcode" restriction payload.

"The new DPO has told us to use passcodes!"

 

Who is "us"? And why? Did you challenge this? If not why not? It may be the right thing to do - but I would want to know what "private" data is being held on these ipads that would make it necessary. And if its private data...and I assume the ipads are shared....and the same common password used....its not going to prevent...for example an ipad being taken home and any pictures on it being viewed....(assuming you allow use of the camera....)

 

...and if your ipads are "managed"....you can remote wipe...

 

Thinking...world is going mad about GDPR...

It would only be photos and yes they are shared. They are not taken home but they are taken out of school on trips.
