# GoogleAccount

The payload that configures a Google account.

```
object GoogleAccount
```

## 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.
