Android for Work - Access to the Play Store

[Arfer99]

We are currently evaluating Android for Work ahead of starting a rollout project later this year. We are using the Device AfW lockdown so the devices only have access to the apps we have approved within our Corporate Google Play Store.

I have been asked whether a sub-set of users can be given access to the full Play Store rather than the Corporate Play Store accessible from an AfW device.
They want to allow certain SuperUsers the ability to search for and test non-approved apps before sending them for approval for the majority of users.

Is this possible?

So, I am guessing these normal people will have devices enrolled as 'work managed' AfW devices.  That mode disables the personal play store and only allows the work managed play store.  In order to allow a 'super user' access to the personal play store, you would need to exclude them from 'work managed' mode and have those devices enroll into AfW using the 'work - profile' mode (basically byod).  This mode electronically separates the corporate data from personal data.  It creates two of everything and puts a locked briefcase icon on all corporate data.

Or allow google accounts to be added and add a second account for the play store for searching for apps
