To get started with the Android Management API, we've created a Colabnotebook that you can follow to enroll an enterprise, create a policy, andprovision a device.

To use the quickstart guide, you need:

• An Android 6.0+ device.
• A Gmail account. This account cannot be associated with an existingenterprise.
• A Cloud Platform project that youown or can edit:
  1. Go to the Projects Page.
  2. Click CREATE PROJECT.
  3. Take note of the project ID.

Cleanup (optional)

To reset your device and unbind your Gmail account from the enterprise youcreated, follow the steps below.

1. Deprovision a device

Before you can deprovision a device, you need the device's deviceId. To get alist of all your provisioned devices, call enterprises.devices.list andspecify:

• parent: The enterprise name in the form of enterprises/{enterprise-id}.

A successful response contains an array of devicesresources. Because you only need the name field to deprovision a device, theexample response below is shortened.

{ "devices": [ { "name": "enterprises/{enterprise-id}/devices/{device-id}", "state": "ACTIVE", // Additional device resource fields } ]}

To deprovision and factory-reset a device, call enterprises.devices.delete andspecify:

• name: The device ID in the form ofenterprises/{enterprise-id}/devices/{device-id}.

If successful, the request returns an empty response body.

2. Delete an enterprise

You can only associate your Gmail account with a single enterprise. To unbindyour account from an enterprise, you need to delete the enterprise:

1. Visit play.google.com/work with the accountused to create the enterprise.
2. Select Admin Settings.
3. In Organization information, select the three vertical dots.
4. Click Delete Organization.
