    The policy which is set to the account is automatically changed to Default android MDM policy. Please make suggestions to avoid automatic policy changes.

    Thanks, and Regards

    Hi, your post is a bit light on detail but am assuming that the device MDM policy 'switches' because of Precedence. 
    The policy precedence is a system of prioritisation where if a device could have multiple policies (for example, it is a member of different groups, each of which has a different policy assigned), the precedence rules decide which policy gets assigned. First rule is that a policy assigned to a group takes priority over a policy you assigned to an individual device, so if you have a new policy you may want to create a device group and assign the new policy to that group to ensure it will 'take'.
    To verify which policies are assigned to which device groups, go to Devices > Groups and ensure that the policies assigned to groups are showing by modifying the columns visible (Customize Columns feature at bottom). 
    Precedence needs a little bit of work to understand it, here's some help:
