    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.

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

    PaulM2115 hope all is well. Could you provide some insight as to how you were able to get this to work using App configuration policy?

      In the device configuration profile.. Users and Accounts settings, Personal Google Accounts settings.

      The Dedicated home screen is also in there, allowing you to push out a locked home screen,.

    We're in a similar situation and would like to understand your solution or workaround. What specific permissions or settings did you have to override?

      As per Microsoft, they are saying google account is unable to add in work profile and there is no workaround as of now.
