The users of the remote Android tablets in your fleet of devices will most likely associate their devices with one or more Google accounts. You will need a Google account to download apps from the Google Play Store. However, if you want to transfer the use of the device to another person, you will need to remove Google accounts from the Android device.
The Radix Device Manager has a function to remove all Google accounts from a device, or to retain a single one. With just a couple of clicks, you will be able to transfer the use of a device from one user to another. It will switch the default Google account on the device as well.
