## Discussion

Discussion Specify com.apple.google-oauth as the payload type. You can install multiple Google payloads. Each sets up a Google email address and any other Google services the user enables after authentication. note: For supervised devices, the system requires installation of Google accounts through MDM or Apple Configurator 2. The payload never contains credentials; the system prompts the user to enter credentials shortly after installation of the payload.
