Deploy the GlobalProtect Mobile App Using Workspace ONE

You can deploy the GlobalProtect app to managed endpoints that are enrolled with Workspace ONE. Endpoints running iOS or Android must download the Workspace ONE agent to enroll with the Workspace ONE MDM. Windows 10 endpoints do not require the Workspace ONE agent but require you to configure enrollment on the endpoint. After you deploy the app, configure and deploy a VPN profile to set up the GlobalProtect app for end users automatically.
If you want to run the GlobalProtect app for Android on managed Chromebooks, you can Deploy the GlobalProtect App for Android on Managed Chromebooks Using Workspace ONE.

      —Configure the Windows 10 UWP endpoint to enroll with Workspace ONE (from the endpoint, select
      Settings
      Accounts
