Even when Erase All Content and Settings is restricted, the option “Erase This iPad” still appears during sign out.
Will it be possible to restrict this as well?
The same behavior occurs even when using a Managed Apple Account...

We have encountered this as well. This would provide users with the means to go dark within some systems that we verify are operational on device prior to assigning them to users. I’m surprised this discussion has not had more traction. I believe this is going to require Apple to give Jamf and MDM vendors the keys to address.
