iOS Push Out Apple ID's with JSS?

[Disarmer]

I am in the process of deploying around 80 iPads for our school district. Is there any way I can push out Apple ID's to each iPad (and then lock them from being removed) instead of entering them manually?

Thanks for any help.

I'm pretty sure you can't do that, but it would be awesome if you could.

It would sure save me a lot of typing on these dang iPads!

I was wondering if this post is still accurate as it was written in 2014, as I would like to find a way to push out a generic Apple ID to Ipads with iOS 11, so I can take advantage of the Files and iBooks Apps for distributing .PDFs to 30 iPads.

I'm pretty sure that there is no way to push out Apple ID accounts to deployed iPads. It's my personal belief that Apple, a company that keeps user security a very high priority, would never allow an MDM to do such a thing. If you are trying to deploy PDF files, you can already do that via Self Service and you don't need an Apple ID signed in on the iPad.
