Hello,
I need clarification. My organization holds a Google Workspace for Nonprofits license which grants us an Android Enterprise Basic license. Everything has suited our needs thus far.
Recently, I've encountered an issue. We're attempting to configure two or more work profiles on an Android tablet using the local account feature present in System-Multiaccount. However, when we configure the first work account, this feature disappears.
Is there any configuration within the admin console that could be causing this behavior?
Could it possibly be linked to the type of license we have?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey,
I'm pretty sure you can only have one Work Profile per device, even if you use the multi account settings, the device will only be able to have one work profile.
For your use case, a fully manage device scenario would probably works better.

I fully agree here. You can only have one work profile on a device.
But you may look for a shared device which can be a fully manged device with a special setup to provide a login for the relevant user.
