Refer to the MDM documentation to determine how to provision users' work email accounts for the work email app.

This procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration console and the Samsung Android device.

On the MDM console, for the Workspace, do the following:
1. In the "Android account" group, verify that "account management" is configured to "disable for the work email app".
2. Provision the user's email account for the work email app.

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap "Workspace".
3. Tap "Accounts".
