To set up an Android device with a G Suite or Cloud Identity account, you just need to add your account to the device. How you add your account depends on whether you're setting up a new (or factory-reset) device or an existing device.
Set up a new device
If you have a new or factory-reset device, add your G Suite or Cloud Identity account during device setup:
- Turn on your device.
- Follow the on-screen steps until you're prompted to enter a Google Account.
- Enter your G Suite or Cloud Identity account email and password.
- Follow the on-screen steps until setup is complete.
If your organization has advanced management enabled and your device isn't marked as corporate-owned, you will be asked to choose how you want to use the device:
- If you plan to add personal data on the device, check I own this device. The device will be set up with a work profile to keep your work and personal data separate.
- If you don't plan to add personal data on the device, don't check I own this device. The device will be set up in fully managed mode.
Set up an existing device
If your device is already set up, add your G Suite or Cloud Identity account. If your account is already on your device, you don’t need to do anything. To add your account:
- Open your device's Settings app.
- Tap Accounts. If you can't see 'Accounts', tap Users & accounts.
- At the bottom, tap Add account.
- Tap Google.
- Enter your G Suite or Cloud Identity account email and password.
If your organization has advanced management enabled, you will be prompted to set up a work profile to keep corporate data secure and separate from your personal data.
Company-owned devices
Organizations with G Suite Enterprise or Business or Cloud Identity Premium can import company-owned devices into their inventory. Devices in your organization's company-owned inventory are automatically set up in fully managed mode, and work profile is not available.
