Configure the GlobalProtect App on Android Endpoints Using Microsoft Intune

Configure Microsoft Intune for Android
GlobalProtect deployed with Microsoft Intune supports the following configurations:
  • Always On
    In an Always On configuration, GlobalProtect automatically connects as soon as the you log in. For devices configured with this connect method, you can enable lockdown mode, which enforces GlobalProtect to be connected for network access
  • On-Demand
    In an on-demand configuration, you must manually connect GlobalProtect through the application. Traffic is routed through the GlobalProtect app only after you initiate and establish the connection.
  • Per-App
    In a per-app configuration, you can specify the managed apps that can route traffic through GlobalProtect when connected. If using an allowlist, only the specified apps will be routed through GlobalProtect. If using a blocklist, all traffic will be routed through GlobalProtect except for the specified apps.
    On Android devices, GlobalProtect does not automatically connect when you open applications configured with an allowlist or blockist. Hence, we recommend setting the always on connect method for per-app configurations.
GlobalProtect works both with Android devices with a work profile and fully-managed Android devices. Refer to the following sections for information on how to set up GlobalProtect on Android endpoints using Microsoft Intune:
