Find my device - Enterprise account configuration

[Kumaresh90]

Background:

We are looking for options to configure a standard google account for 'find my device' option on Corporate Android devices from EMM. This way we can sign-in to one account, see all associated devices & send track/remote lock commands to the device from a single place.

Question:

1) Does Google provide EMMs with options to let admins configure enterprise google account for 'Find my device' on Corporate Android devices?

2) If yes to (1) , can Admins use the same google account configured for Android Enterprise binding to also configure 'Find my device'?

Hello,

There is no options to force an account on the device. However you could use the lost mode available on Android 11+ devices if your EMM supports it.

It allows you to lock the device and locate it without the need of having a Google account on the device

On fully managed and dedicated you absolutely can find your device if your MDM supports it but you do not need any enterprise account to do so. On Intune if configurated correct, you can go to device and choose locate device.
