So, this is where Google Admin comes into play since to carry out the use of these services provided by Google Workspace for companies, institutions or educational centers (such as Gmail , Meet , Drive , Docs , among others), you must have a google account manager who manages these tools or devices within the group.

If you want to learn what it is and how to use Google Admin, we invite you to read the following post.

 

What is Google Admin?

Google Admin is the Google Workspace administration console where you can perform all kinds of monitoring, control and security tasks, such as adding or removing users, managing invoices or applications, configuring mobile devices, and everything that has to do with monitoring the bills.

Once the google administrator is assigned, it will be able to:

  • Help you troubleshoot problems or answer questions related to your account.
  • Change your Google account password, in case you forget it.
  • Activate Google services that you can use with your account, such as YouTube , Gmail , Drive , Calendar, etc.

 

Where is the google admin?

The google admin console is located at the URL admin.google.com . From there, once you have administrator permission, you can log in to the console with your username and password, to start managing Google accounts, devices, or services in your domain from there. In fact, when a new Google Workspace account is created, the first user forced to register is the Google Admin.

However, administrator privileges determine the features available to you and the tasks you can perform as an administrator. For example, an administrator with the Users privilege can only perform actions related to users, so they won't be able to see all the other features.

Depending on the role that is assigned to you as a user, you will have different types of access to the administration console. Super Admin is the highest rank, where you have full access to all panel features. It is also possible to assign an admin role that limits the tasks it can perform, so you can assign predefined admin roles or create custom roles.
