Apple’s AppleSeed for IT program is designed to help enterprise and education customers test beta versions of Apple’s software.

To assist with making it easier to test these beta versions on devices, it’s possible for a user with the Administrator role in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager to accept the AppleSeed program’s terms and conditions on behalf of their organization. In turn, this will enable devices to be enrolled in Apple’s beta programs without the need for the user to sign in with an Apple Account on the device. For more details on how to do this, please see below the jump.

Pre-requisites:

• Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager instance for your organization
