Note:<\/strong> \nIf you haven\u2019t yet enrolled your enterprise in Google EMM, click Let\u2019s Do It<\/strong> on this page to enroll.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- From the managed Google Play Store, locate and select the app you want to add, then click Select<\/strong>. You can also search for an app title and view details about the app before you select it.
<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n- After the app is added, verify that it appears in the Software Management list in the Google tab. If the app that you just added does not appear, click Refresh<\/strong>. On the device, work profile apps that are assigned to the end user are marked with a briefcase icon so they\u2019re easy to distinguish from personal apps.

Tip:<\/strong> \nTo narrow the list to one or two specific app types, click Filter and select Public<\/strong>, Private<\/strong>, or Web<\/strong> and click Apply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- To determine how a public or private app is installed or updated, select the app and complete the fields if they appear:\n
\n- Under Application Install Mode<\/strong>, choose how the app will be installed:\n
\n- Available<\/strong> – The app is available to install.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Force Install<\/strong> – The app is automatically installed and can’t be removed by the user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Block <\/strong>– The app is blocked and the user can’t install it. If the app was installed under a previous policy, it will be uninstalled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Under Application Update Mode<\/strong>, determine when automatic app updates can be applied:\n
\n- Default<\/strong> – The app is automatically updated to minimize the impact on the user. These conditions must exist:\n
\n- The device is not actively used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The device is connected to a WiFi network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The device is charging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The app you\u2019re updating is not running in the foreground.
The device is notified about a new update within 24 hours after it is published by the developer, and the app is updated the next time the conditions listed above are met.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n - High Priority<\/strong> – The app is updated as soon as possible. The device is notified immediately about a new update when it becomes available. If the device is offline at that time, the app is immediately updated the next time the device is connected to the internet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Postpone<\/strong> – The app is not automatically updated for a maximum of 90 days after the app becomes out of date. After the 90-day period, the latest available version of the app is automatically installed with low priority. After the app is updated, it is not automatically updated again until 90 days after it becomes out of date. The user can still manually update the app from the Play Store at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Under Runtime Permissions<\/strong>, choose a response for specific permissions for any work app:\n
\n- Allow<\/strong> – Automatically grant permission to a work app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Prompt<\/strong> – Let users choose whether to grant permission to a work app. This is the default.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Deny <\/strong>– Automatically deny permission to a work app.
For devices running Android 12 and later, to improve user privacy you\u2019ll no longer be able to grant device-wide permissions without explicit consent from the user. The Allow<\/strong> option is disabled for these Android apps:\n\n- Location<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Camera<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Microphone<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Body sensor<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Physical activity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Some apps, such as Gmail, let you select additional individual permissions. Click Expand to customize individual permissions<\/strong>:\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b
<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Click Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> \nThe selection of the Application Install Mode applies to the assigned devices at that moment. However, it could take up to 24 hours for an app\u2019s status to be accurately reflected. The app status during this time will appear as INSTALL PENDING<\/em>. <\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- To further control some public or private apps and improve the user\u2019s experience, select the app and click Configuration<\/strong>. The app is preconfigured, but you can add a name for this managed configuration and change any of the settings, then click Save<\/strong>. For example, the Enterprise Grid Domain URL<\/strong> for Slack lets you send users on approved devices directly to an app. Web apps do not require additional configuration.
Note<\/strong>: You can set wildcards (such as $username$ or %emailAddress%) so that a single configuration for an app, such as Gmail, can be applied to multiple users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Click Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Assign the app to a device or device group:\n
\n- Select the Device Groups<\/strong> tab, select the checkbox next to each device group that will deploy the app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the Devices<\/strong> tab, select the checkbox next to each device that will deploy the app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click Save<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Verify the app installation. Seen the section below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
