I return with news since Mike hasn't chimed in yet 🙂

Did some testing and it does actually appear to be a supported use case, if not one the Google team advertise or talk about. 

There is a managed Google Play account provisioned, and it does indeed provide access to the apps in managed Play.

Caveats appear to be - 

  • No local admin
  • No silent install/removal
  • Limited reporting

Which I suppose is also MAM in general. 

I wouldn't count on this being supported by Google longer term since there's basically nothing about it.. but it could do the job for you today 🙂
