Use custom settings for Android devices in Microsoft Intune

  • Artikkeli

Using Microsoft Intune, you can add or create custom settings for your Android devices using a custom profile. Custom profiles are a feature in Intune. They're designed to add device settings and features that aren't built in to Intune.

This feature applies to:

  • Android device administrator

Important

Microsoft Intune is ending support for Android device administrator management on devices with access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) on December 31, 2024. After that date, device enrollment, technical support, bug fixes, and security fixes will be unavailable. If you currently use device administrator management, we recommend switching to another Android management option in Intune before support ends. For more information, see Ending support for Android device administrator on GMS devices.

Android custom profiles use Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier (OMA-URI) settings to configure different features on Android devices. These settings are typically used by mobile device manufacturers to control these features.

Using a custom profile, you can configure and assign the following Android settings. The following settings aren't built in to Intune:
