Mac Return Procedure- (Disbale Find My Mac and Sign Out of iCloud)
When WCER employment ends, users will need to disable "Find My Mac" and sign out of iCloud.
This ensures that Activation Lock is disabled and the device will be able to be erased and transferred to a new user.

Sign out of iCloud (sign out your Apple ID)
When you follow these steps to sign out of iCloud, you're asked whether to keep a copy of your iCloud data on this Mac. It's faster to just keep a copy, because we will erase your Mac later.

- Choose Apple menu > System Settings.
- Click your name (Apple ID) in the sidebar.
- On the right, scroll down and click "Sign Out".
For macOS Monterey, macOS Big Sur, or macOS Catalina:
