Review the managed Google Android 16 work profile configuration settings to confirm that users are prevented from adding personal email accounts to the work email app.

This procedure is performed on both the EMM Administration Console and the managed Google Android 16 device.

COPE:

On the EMM console:
1. Open "Set user restrictions".
2. Verify that "Disallow modify accounts" is toggled to "ON".

On the managed Google Android 16 device:

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap "Passwords, passkeys & accounts".
