Use the Apple Staff template in Apple School Manager
Use the Apple Staff template to import staff accounts. The person_id value must be unique for all locations. All staff receive the standard password policy (8+ alphanumeric characters).
You can also assign more than one location to a staff account by adding more location columns to this template. You can add up to 998 more location columns—named location_id_2, location_id_3, and so on, up to location_id_999. For each staff account, you can optionally enter another location_id in each of these columns. This must match a location_id in the Locations template. If this entry doesn’t match, the upload process fails. For more information, see Apple Locations template.
Note: If federated authentication is turned on, an email address is required. Additionally, if the specified email address uses a federated domain, that email address must be unique. If the email address is in a federated domain, the user account is also federated.
