Advice required for temp / agency staff

Hi All

I hope you are well.

Anyway, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

We have Android devices in Entra Shared Device Mode (Multi App) which any of our employees with a valid UPN can logon to.

All good there.

What we need is a solution for temporary or agency staff. This would be staff that could be called on at very short notice and may not stay around for long.

For security and audit reasons, we'd rather not create "userless" accounts.

Is there anything in Entra / Entra Shared Device Mode that can achieve this?

Info greatly appreciated.

    I found the answer here:

     

    https://petervanderwoude.nl/post/using-offline-mode-and-app-access-without-signing-in-on-android-enterprise-dedicated-devices/

     

    Our temp / agency staff can have the LOB app on Entra Shared Mode devices and as long as the app is set with the parameter "available without signing in" then users do not need to sign into the device to get the app.

    Job Done

     

    Thanks Peter
