Check Content

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the LG Android device. On the MDM console, do the following: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Allow addition of Google Accounts (for Work Profile)" settings. 2. Verify the setting is disabled. 3. Verify the policy has been assigned to all groups. On the LG Android device: 1. Navigate to Settings >> Accounts. 2. Verify in the Work Profile there is no "Add account" setting available. If on the MDM console "Allow addition of Google Accounts (for Work Profile)" is not disabled or on the LG Android device the "Add account" setting is available in the Work Profile, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the mobile operating system to disable addition of a Google account. On the MDM Administration Console, disable "Allow addition of Google Accounts (for Work Profile)" setting.
