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.
