Description
Multi-user mode allows multiple users to share a mobile device by providing a degree of separation between user data. To date, no mobile device with multi-user mode features meets DoD requirements for access control, data separation, and non-repudiation for user accounts. In addition, the MDFPP does not include design requirements for multi-user account services. Disabling multi-user mode mitigates the risk of not meeting DoD multi-user account security policies.

Review documentation on the Google Android device and inspect the configuration on the Google Android device to disable multi-user modes.

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Android 10 device.

On the MDM console, do the following:

1. Open the User restrictions.
2. Open user settings.
3. Confirm "Disallow Add User" is selected.

On the Android 10 device, do the following:
