Can't add Google accounts to Android work profiles when managed by Intune
- Dec 17, 2019
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 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.

OffColour1972is there anything new with Android 11?

there was a google devops talk last week, where someone had the same question.
The answer was, that there will be a new feature that will give us the possibility to assign an ou to a identity provider.
If we combine that with android 11 company owned devices that have work profiles on it, a login in gsuite apps will work.
I hope this will happen
