Is there a way to let the user change the auto-lock time on shared iPads? This topic is already discussed and solved for jamf pro using remote commands. But is there a similar way for jamf school? It seems to be possible in profiles using the passcode settings but this does not work for shared iPads.

I am also interested in this. We are having a lot of users frustrated by Shared iPads locking too quickly in Jamf School. I'm unsure how to resolve this as the auto lock setting is missing in Shared iPads. I have just submitted a support ticket about this and will give feedback if I hear any solution on this.

@magoDid you happen to find a solution to this? I reached out to Jamf School support but haven't found any solutions as of yet.

I just got a reply back from Jamf School support.
This feature isn't available at this time.
This is their response:
Unfortunately, the equivalent command referenced in that post to manually set the Passcode Grace Period in Jamf Pro isn't available in Jamf School currently. We're still able to set a maximum grace period that a user may set on the device itself within a Profile with the Passcode payload. Also of note, if changing the passcode isn't restricted in a Passcode payload, they will be able to change it, even if a command were to be sent to the device, as a profile can only simply give it a maximum option to the user, and/or restrict making changes to the passcode altogether.
This definitely sounds like worth submitting as a feature request, which can be done at https://ideas.jamf.com/ .

Many thanks for your help! I didn't find a solution so far. The only idea I have, is to re-enroll all the devices and reset them to a non-shared iPad. Then the passcode payload should work. This helps in my case but isn't a solution for the problem.
