Introduction

In order to use Android Enterprise profiles, a link to a Google account is required.
Here we show how to link the Securepoint Mobile Security Portal to a Google account, which thereby becomes an Android Enterprise account.

Email addresses with a domain of your own organisation can be used (e.g. mdm@anyideas.de)
E-mail addresses from mail providers can be used (e.g. mdm.anyideas@gmail.com)

If the account is suspended by Google (or any other provider) or deleted by the owner, all devices will be reset.
It is essential to ensure that this Google account is not deleted under any circumstances, or that the GMail address is blocked.

Google gives indications of various reasons why an account may have been suspended:

We strongly recommend activating the 2 factor authentication 2FA!

Link Google Enterprise with Securepoint Mobile Security

In order to be able to use Google Enterprise for companies and administer it via Securepoint Mobile Security, a link must be established between the Mobile Security account and a Google account for EMM. It is important to note that there is only one Google Enterprise account for all devices of a tenant (customer with own mobile security account). Without EMM, every device has its own Google account.
