Explanation

Content caching on a Mac (macOS 10.13 or later) doesn't require an Apple ID, Managed Apple ID, or Personal Apple ID to function. It's a system-level feature enabled in macOS settings or via MDM, caching content like app updates and iCloud data for network efficiency.

The Apple Platform Deployment Guide confirms no Apple ID is required for content caching
