Which Entra account are you supposed to use to connect to a managed Google Play account?

At Connect Intune account to managed Google Play account - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn, it says:

We recommend using the Microsoft Entra account you're signed into to create the Google Admin account.

So I used my Entra account to set it up. Now, though, when I look at the Managed Google Play item in Intune under Devices > Android > Enrollment, it has my email address under "Linked account".

Was I supposed to create a shared Entra account to make this connection? What happens when I leave the org?

    You should use the Global Admin (or at least an Intune/Endpoint Manager admin) Entra account when connecting to Managed Google Play. Regular user accounts usually don’t have the required permissions. It’s basically the same account you use to manage Intune/MDM settings.
