Not able to restrict personal email from logging into Work GMAIL app for BYOD enrolled devices

I wanted to restrict personal emails (with gmail account) from logging into Work GMAIL app for BYOD enrolled devices. I however want workspace accounts to be able to login. When I set modifyAccountsDisabled to true in AMAPI policy, no account can be added (including workspace account). Same problem happens when I specify com.google for accountTypesWithManagementDisabled - no account can log into GMAIL.

Is there any solution to this ? Thanks in advance.

Currently i don't have BYOD devices being managed but ever tried adding gmail as a wark app to the device with managed app config?

So, combination would be "username" filled in (should be somehow a macro) and disabling "allow
unmanaged accounts" setting.

No, unfortunately I couldn't make it work. Not sure if I need to configure exchange server. If it works for you, can you please provide me the policy JSON ? Below is my policy JSON -

{ "applications": [ { "packageName": "com.google.android.gm", "installType": "FORCE_INSTALLED", "defaultPermissionPolicy": "PROMPT", "managedConfigurationTemplate": { "templateId": "15655048322358951452", "configurationVariables": { "$username$": "kishor" } }, "autoUpdateMode": "AUTO_UPDATE_DEFAULT" } ], "statusReportingSettings": { "applicationReportsEnabled": true, "deviceSettingsEnabled": true, "softwareInfoEnabled": true, "memoryInfoEnabled": true, "networkInfoEnabled": true, "displayInfoEnabled": true, "powerManagementEventsEnabled": true, "hardwareStatusEnabled": true, "systemPropertiesEnabled": true, "applicationReportingSettings": { "includeRemovedApps": true }, "commonCriteriaModeEnabled": true } }


And this is how it looks like on my mobile -
