Need understand some point of this feature - 3.6. Managed configuration management
I have implemented this following feature - 3.6. Managed configuration management. Everything understand but got stuck in point -
3.6.3. The EMM's console must allow IT admins to set wildcards (such as $username$ or %emailAddress%) so that a single configuration for an app such as Gmail can be applied to multiple users.
Not understand how to implement this wildcards in one policy for different devices and also let me know for gmail it is supported or not?
Thanks in advance.

Hey! I'm also stuck with a similar question.
My understanding was that this is only useful with one policy per device which is actually encouraged as per the last note on this page. But now that you mentioned it, I'm doubting my understanding of this item. Hopefully someone can enlighten us here.
Regarding your question about knowing if gmail supports it, you can either use the EMM API Products.getAppRestrictionsSchema endpoint (not useful if registering a new solution right now since EMM API is no longer accepting applications), or the AMAPI enterprises.applications.get endpoint which lists the Managed Configurations available. Or an even better solution in my opinion which is using the managed configurations iframe which handles all the necessary logic for rendering the form with every managed configuration available for a specific app.So you're backend will have to create on policy per device (or per user) and assign those policy accordingly to the correct device either based on the user or on the device. For each of those policy you would replace the wildcard by the actual value.
