Hi, we are currently using our jamf pro istance to manage some iPads. They are shared among our users (mainly as drawing devices for our graphic designers or to present the proposals to the clients).
The issue i would like to solve is this: sometimes users downlaod and log in to gmail or to the synology drive app with their personal account. This is correct because they are sometimes needed.
I would like to reset those apps every day or when needed. Is there a way to do that without resetting the ipad each time?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You could setup shared iPad use if it's the same users logging in each time.
If you don't want them signing as themselves on the shared iPad you can keep the guest user enabled and have them sign into the guest user account. All data is removed from the Guest user account when they sign out of it.

+1 on Shared iPad setup. We use it for our loaner iPads for students. When they forget their device or it's in for repair they can use the loaner for the day. We have ours set for only Guest login with a forced logout after 10 hours. They are able to login to all apps they need. The next day the iPads are back to the Guest login window.
