Guidance with Outlook App Configuration Policies and Conf.Keys for Android
First off, I'm referring to the Configuration Key com.microsoft.intune.mam.AllowedAccountUPNs, documented here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/outlook-...

FYI in case anyone else gets in their own way like I do/did...
The answer is that we still use "valueString" as the type, but then we separate UPNs in our list using semicolon instead of comma. I found this info here:
Specifically:
Allow only configured organization accounts in multi-identity apps
As the Microsoft Intune administrator, you can control which work or school accounts are added to Microsoft apps on managed devices. You can limit access to only allowed organization user accounts and block personal accounts on enrolled devices. For Android devices, use the following key/value pairs in a Managed Devices app configuration policy:
Key: com.microsoft.intune.mam.AllowedAccountUPNsValues:
- One or more ; delimited UPNs.
- Only account(s) allowed are the managed user account(s) defined by this key.
- For Intune enrolled devices, the {{userprincipalname}} token may be used to represent the enrolled user account.
"Only account(s) allowed are the managed user account(s) defined by this key." is oddly-written but oh well.

Do you have examples with screenshots? Because this is not clear what you describe here.
- JeremyTBradshawFeb 26, 2025Steel Contributor
Here's a quick screenshot from my current lab env. Still looks mostly the same. Once you turn on Work Accounts only, you will see the AllowedAccountUPNs configuration key show up. In the view I am showing below, the value type is just "string" (not "valueString"), so that is different from what I described back in 2020. Nonetheless, it is the {{UserPrincipalName}} area which I was referring to that takes semi-colon-delimited UPNs:
I should state, I'm a little out of touch on this topic right now and it is 5 years later so things may have changed some. I'm scratching my head on this one a little bit trying to remember the exact use case I had. I feel like it must have been a decidated app configuration profile to deploy to a specific set of users who need to have a specific additional mailbox(es) added to their mobile Outlook. Hope this answer clears up what you were after.

Hello, I don't understand how I can configure an additional mailbox. if i set to enable "allow only work account", i can only configure principal mailbox.
thank you

Hi Jeremy,
i've tried to enter the value for the key com.microsoft.intune.mam.AllowedAccountUPNs as described: {{userprincipalname}} , but i get the following error message:
The other keys / values:
Do you have any idea about this?
Regards,
Hannes
- JeremyTBradshawMar 17, 2021Steel ContributorBased in the error, it seems like it's saying you shouldn't be using the key at all. In the Configuration Designer, do you see work accounts only mode being turned on? I haven't seen the error you shared but I'm wondering if you have to use another key to make sure he feature is in, before you can supply the allowed UPNs list
FYI, I've been relying on full access permissions and the "add shared or delegated mailboxes" feature. So I just leave the default value for that key when I turn in on work accounts only mode.- JohannesW60Mar 18, 2021Copper Contributor
In the Configuration Designer, do you see work accounts only mode being turned on?
Can you tell me where i can find the Configuration Designer?
Is it the "App configuration policies"?
I have only created an app protection policy and an app configuration policy for Outlook app
