Support 
Android Enterprise
 activations with a 
Google Cloud
 domain

If you have configured 
BlackBerry UEM
 to connect to a 
Google Cloud
 domain, you must perform the following tasks before users can activate devices using 
Android Enterprise
.
Configure 
BlackBerry UEM
 to support 
Android Enterprise
. When you configure 
BlackBerry UEM
 to connect to a 
Google Cloud
 domain, you must select whether 
BlackBerry UEM
 can create user accounts in the domain. This selection affects the tasks that you must perform before users can activate 
Android Enterprise
 devices. For information about configuring 
BlackBerry UEM
 to support 
Android Enterprise
 devices, see the on-premises Configuration content or the UEM Cloud Configuration content.
  1. In 
    BlackBerry UEM
    , add directory user accounts for your 
    Android Enterprise
     users.
  2. If you choose not to allow 
    BlackBerry UEM
     to create user accounts in your 
    Google Cloud
     domain, you must create user accounts in your 
    Google Cloud
     domain and in 
    BlackBerry UEM
    . Perform one of the following actions:
    • In your 
      Google Cloud
       domain, create user accounts for your 
      Android Enterprise
       users. Each email address must match the email address in the corresponding 
      BlackBerry UEM
       user account. Make sure that your 
      Android Enterprise
       users know the password for their 
      Google Cloud
       accounts.
    • Use the 
      Google
       Apps Directory Sync tool to synchronize your 
      Google Cloud
       domain with your company directory. If you do this, you don't need to create user accounts manually in your 
      Google Cloud
       domain.
  3. If you intend to assign the 
    Work space only
     or 
    Work and personal - full control
     activation types, select the 
    Enforce EMM Policy
     setting in the 
    Google Cloud
     domain.
    This setting is required for devices with the 
    Work space only
     and 
    Work and personal - full control
     activation types and strongly recommended for devices with other activation types. If this setting is not selected, users can add a managed 
    Google
     account to the device that can access work apps outside of the work profile.
  4. In 
    BlackBerry UEM
    , assign an email profile and productivity apps to users, user groups, or device groups.
