Using Google Managed Accounts

Google managed accounts are user-based and are best for situations where the device will be associated with a single user over its lifetime. To use Google managed accounts, you must grant SOTI MobiControl permission to manage those devices in the Google Admin Console. The Google Admin Console is Google's central location for managing your Google enterprise services. See Google's Help for more information.

Each device that you plan to enroll in SOTI MobiControl must be associated with a user account that exists in both Active Directory and Google to properly deploy applications to that device. Within the Google Admin Console an organization can grant access for the management of any Android devices under its domain(s). Management access is based on users and domains, both of which must be registered in the Google Admin Console. An Android device with work features can only be managed in SOTI MobiControl after the device user, and the domain that they belong to, have both been registered in the Google Admin Console.

Note: LDAP is required when using Google managed accounts on your devices.

Once you have set up your users and domains in the Google Admin Console, you must bind your domain(s) to SOTI MobiControl before it can enroll and manage Android devices with work features enabled.
