Deploy the GlobalProtect App for Android on Managed Chromebooks Using Workspace ONE

Starting with GlobalProtect app 5.0, you can deploy the GlobalProtect app for Android on managed Chromebooks that are enrolled with Workspace ONE. After you deploy the app, configure and deploy a VPN profile to set up the GlobalProtect app for end users automatically.
The GlobalProtect app for Android is supported only on certain Chromebooks. Chromebooks that do not support Android applications must continue to run the GlobalProtect app for Chrome, which is not supported starting with GlobalProtect app 5.0 and later.
Do not deploy both the GlobalProtect app for Android and GlobalProtect app for Chrome on the same Chromebook.
Use the following steps to deploy the GlobalProtect app for Android on managed Chromebooks using Workspace ONE:
  1. Set up the Google Admin console.
    The Google Admin console enables you to manage Google services for users in your organization. Workspace ONE uses the Google Admin console for integration with Chromebooks.
    1. Log in to the Google Admin console as an administrator.
    2. From the console, select

      field, enter the following Google API scopes to which you want to control application access:
      Each API scope must be separated by a comma.
