To manage Intune-enrolled devices with any of the supported Android Enterprise management options, you must connect your Microsoft Intune tenant to your managed Google Play account. Available management options include:
This article describes how to link your accounts in the Microsoft Intune admin center. After you connect to Google Play, these common apps for Android Enterprise are added to the admin center:
Important
As of August 2024, you can link your Microsoft Entra identity account to a Google account, instead of using an enterprise Gmail account. We recommend using your Microsoft Entra account to connect to Google Play. For more information about this change, see Google blog: How we’re making Android Enterprise signup and access to Google services better. Current Microsoft Intune tenants who have already associated a Gmail account with Intune will continue to be supported.
Tip
Due to interaction between Google and Microsoft domains, you might need to adjust your browser settings to complete this process. Make sure that portal.azure.com
, play.google.com
, and enterprise.google.com
are in the same security zone in your browser.
Complete these steps to enable Android Enterprise management options in Microsoft Intune.
Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center.
Go to Devices > Enrollment.
Select the Android tab.
Under Prerequisites, choose Managed Google Play. If you're using a custom Intune role, access to this option requires organization read and update permissions.
Select I agree to grant Microsoft permission to send user and device information to Google.
Select Launch Google to connect now to open the managed Google Play website. The website opens on a new tab in your browser.
On the Google sign-in page, confirm that the prefilled Microsoft Entra account is the account you want to associate with all Android Enterprise management tasks for this tenant.
Important
Follow the onscreen prompts to finish creating a Google Admin account.
When prompted, select Allow and create account to allow Microsoft Intune to manage your Android Enterprise devices.
Tip
To choose a scope tag for your managed Google Play apps, go to Tenant administration > Connectors and tokens > Managed Google Play in the Microsoft Intune admin center. Then select a scope tag to apply to all newly-approved managed Google Play apps. You must have the following permissions to interact with this area in the admin center and to remove the selected scope tag. Tenant admins, or admins who are in charge of giving admin permissions to others, can go to Tenant Administration > Roles to edit permissions.
You can disconnect the link between Microsoft Intune and Google in the admin center. Disconnecting the account disables Android Enterprise device management for your tenant.
After you connect to a managed Google Play account, you can set up Microsoft Intune for these Android Enterprise scenarios:
