Can't add Google accounts to Android work profiles when managed by Intune
Hi NotMacGyver I wanted to confirm that this is By-Design. Intune blocks the user from manually adding Google accounts to the Work Profile, and unfortunately there is no workaround.

MatthewButcher do you have available options
- Has this issue been corrected yet? One of our customers uses Google Enterprise, and I am unable to join their "Meet" conferences without logging in to a Google recognized account. This prevents me from communicating with my customer and makes the Google Meet application useless under the business profile of Intune.
Google Enterprise Users are able to send invitations that do not require an Google Account to join
- Any updates on this, it's crazy that users can't use google calendar, google meet and other apps like google assistant in the work profile when their BYOD are managed with intune
MatthewButcher Let's try another approach.
If there's no way of a user MANUALLY adding a G-Suite account, is there any way for the administrator to associate an Azure AD user with the Google account so it's there in the work profile by default?
We already sync Azure AD to G-Suite and use AAD for authentication for Google so this whole setup is supported (at least in one direction) so not allowing that sync'd Google account to be used from a Work Profile is a little odd to say the least.

Hi OffColour1972, unfortunately we do not have a way to do this today.
- So I stand by my comment that Intune is completely useless as you've deliberately crippled it to block Google accounts.
MatthewButcher This makes Intune completely useless to anyone using G-Suite.
