User experience when enabling federated auth for Managed Apple IDs

Hello all,

I've done a search for this but haven't quite found the info I'm after. Basically we are looking to flip the switch on federated authentication via Google for our Managed Apple IDs. We have ~70 people who are currently using their work email address for their Apple ID. 

Just want to know what their experience will be when we flip that switch. Will it just be a case of re-authenticating with their Google details or will it be more painful? 😅

Any info will be greatly appreciated!

    1. Helpful to see what the user experience is like when someone has an iCloud account that they created with the same naming convention that you're Google Workspace has.
