> There is one thing I need to mention for anyone going the separate iCloud account route on corp devices: you probably should make sure you have it logged in from a personal Mac or something like that, or some other place where you can have passcodes sent. The reason is that if you should quit, you lose access to the authorized devices (phone, laptop) which will receive auth codes.

Don't use that account on the machine for anything else. Then, if you ever need to get back in and shut things down to stop the autopay stuff, you'll have a way.
Use iCloud Family and make child accounts for corp devices.
As the “parent” account, you control the “child” account, even if the company controls the device, and you can allow the child account to use the apps or music you own, track where the device goes, etc. etc..
- srswtf123 5y agoThis feels like a solid tip, thank you. One question: can you specify separate payments methods per child account? It would be useful to have, for instance a personal Amex & corp Amex setup on the parent, and only the corp Amex available to the child.
- lylo 5y agoNot sure you can. Possible to have multiple payment methods on the parent account which might be a workaround? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6638275 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6638275
