Sync user accounts from Google Workspace to Apple School Manager
When a user account is synced to Apple School Manager, the default role is Student. After the sync is complete, the following user account attributes can be edited:
Roles
Grade level
Student Information System (SIS) user name
These attributes are stored with the user account in Apple School Manager and aren’t written back to Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, or your IdP.
The synced account information is added as read-only until you turn off syncing. At that time, the accounts become manual accounts, and attributes in these accounts (such as user names) can then be edited.
Note: The initial sync takes longer to perform than subsequent cycles do. Consult the Google Workspace documentation to learn how often users are synced.
