    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.

We ran into similar problem, and also think that Intune is completely not useful as you've deliberately crippled it to block Google accounts. Kindly review this in the future

      Mebin260 We have got this working now, using End Point Manager, App configuration policy, which then allows you to set a rule to overide the security policy.  Not sure that is the best idea, but it works.

       

      We have dedicated home screens so that secures the device for us.

       

      Thanks
