It took 9 years for Apple to implement this feature, but here it is iOS 9.3 allows the creation of user accounts for accessing data stored in iDevices, those from Cupertino describing the new functionality on their own website.
The function is provided by iOS beta 9.3 1 for iPad and is currently only available on tablets and only in the educational environment, the Apple company also creating a special application called Classroom that brings a series of new functions for the use of tablets in schools.
According to the description made by the Apple company, the user account system works exactly as in OS X or Windows, so that each user account will be customized for the person who uses it, having his data displayed when he logs in.
Apple will allow schools to create Apple IDs en masse and manage them from a dedicated application, so the school can restrict anyone's access to the account as needed or modify them, but without accessing the data saved by students on tablets .
Using this system, schools can pre-install various didactic materials on students' tablets that they can access right from logging in, the idea behind the system being to facilitate the sharing of an iPad tablet by several students of a school.
The Apple company is currently testing this system in beta version together with iOS 9.3 to give schools the opportunity to learn how to use it and to report any problems, so it will be several months before it is publicly released.
When a 1:1 student-to-iPad ratio isn't possible, Shared iPad offers an elegant solution that lets students enjoy the benefits of having their own iPad in whatever classroom they're in. They simply log in to any iPad, and their content is ready to go. Intelligent caching lets teachers use the Photo ID feature to assign shared devices quickly and easily. Each student's picture appears on the iPad they've been using. So all they have to do to find their device is spot their photo.
For now, it is not known when this system will be publicly offered, but it probably won't last long.
