Disallow account management
An administrator of a WeGuard account may need to restrict users from adding or accessing personal Gmail accounts or any other unauthorized accounts on enterprise-enrolled devices.
If this restriction is not enabled, users may add their personal accounts to the device and potentially access or synchronize corporate data through unauthorized services. This can create a security risk and may allow users to bypass the organization’s security controls.
As demonstrated in this section of the video, without the required restriction, a user can add a personal Gmail account to a WeGuard-enrolled device. Therefore, administrators should ensure that only approved enterprise accounts can be added to managed devices.
Disallow the user from managing the account
Log in to the WeGuard Console.
Navigate to Policies and Select the Policy Group.
Click on Security and find Disallow Account Management.
Give package ID (Eg. com.google.android.gm) and click Add Type.
Admin can get the package ID's for any application they want to block and add there.
Click on Pending Change, then click on Save & Confirm.
