Hello Kamal,

Thank you for arranging the meeting with Raghavendra. Here is the meeting summary including the information which Raghavendra requested. Please forward the message to him accordingly. If you would like to loop him in this conversation, I can add his contact to the Email CC of this case.

[Meeting summary and requested information]

  • Behavior of Chrome policy: BrowserSignin = “Force browser sign-in" on Android and iOS
    • This policy is not supported on Android or iOS and will fall back to “Enable browser sign-in” if used [1]
    • As of now, there is no timeline to expand this feature to Android or iOS
    • You can submit any feature idea in the Google Workspace Feature Ideas community [2]
  • Adding multiple Google Workspace accounts on Android and iOS with Advanced MDM
    • Android
      • Android OS supports only 1 work profile at a time as of now
      • It is not mentioned in any Google Help Center article, but you will be able to find the threads like [3] [4] [5] in Google Help Center Forum
    • iOS
      • iOS Google Device Policy app only supports 1 account to install
      • It is not mentioned in any Google Help Center article, but I confirmed that the following message was displayed on a test iOS device when switching accounts [6] from the one Google Device Policy app was installed
        - Account switching deactivated
        - Your profile is already set up with an account. Unregister the account to register with a different one
  • Best practice of Google Workspace MDM
    • I’m afraid that there is no documentation titled “Best practices” published from Google about Google Workspace MDM
    • For IT admins and management
      • You can find articles of the overview [7], features [8], management level comparison [9] from this list [10]
    • For end users
      • These articles [11] [12] explain how to set up Android and iOS devices from the user side perspective regardless of management level

I hope this information will be useful for you. Let me know if you need any further assistance. I’ll be happy to help.
