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.
