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)

notempty 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.

Settings for Apple and Android

notemptyA Google Account may only be associated with one tenant at a time !

Otherwise, all devices assigned to a tenant – and thus to a Google Account – will appear in all other tenants linked to the same Google Account!

Associating in the menu

→ Android Enterprise → Add/Link

A Google account is enabled as an enterprise account by linking Securepoint Mobile Security as EMM provider

The communication of the Securepoint Mobile Security Portal runs completely via this Google account.

notemptyTo avoid unwanted side effects, a new account should definitely be created.

It is recommended to use a naming scheme here: mdm.$customer_name@gmail.com
