Users can review a list of managed apps in the Google Device Policy app:
In Google Admin at https://admin.google.com, click Apps > Web and mobile apps.
Click Add App.
Select Search for apps.
Look for the app by name. You can also enter an App Store URL.
Click Select to the right of the app you want to add. In this case, we’ll add Dropbox as an example.
Choose which users to add the app to. You can add it to all users or only a specific OU or Group. Click CONTINUE.
Check the option to make the app a managed one. This allows you to check Remove app when the configuration profile is removed, meaning that it will be removed when users’ Google Workspace account stops syncing to the device. Click FINISH.
After adding the app, you’ll see this screen, which allows you to update the app’s settings. You can always go back to this page later by clicking the app’s name in the list of managed apps.
There are two sections here: User access and Settings.
The User access section lets you control which Organizational Units listed on the left side of the screen have access to the app.
For example, to prevent users in a specific OU from using a managed app, select that OU, then update this setting to OFF and click SAVE.
In the Settings section, you can update whether you want this app to be managed or not and whether you want it removed when users remove their managed configuration profile.
Allow free installation of all apps from the Apple App Store, restrict users to managed apps only and enable automatic installation.
Control if users are allowed to remove system apps from their devices.
Control if users are allowed to remove managed apps from their devices.
Specify managed apps that users are allowed to install.
Configure general settings related to a managed app.
Remove managed apps so that users are no longer allowed to install them.
