Connecting the Securepoint Mobile Security Portal to a Google Account

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.


Link Google Enterprise with Securepoint Mobile Security

Settings for Apple and Android

In order to be able to use Android 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.


A 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!

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.

  • To 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

  • Google accounts are free of charge - even as an enterprise account!

  • If the account is suspended by Google 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!
