Google Workspace Training / Administrator
Google Admin Console
To get started, sign in to your Admin console.
Note: Your administrator privileges determine which features are available to you and which tasks you can perform. For example, an admin with the Users privilege can only perform actions on users, so they don’t see all the features, such as Billing. For more information, go to Administrator privilege definitions.
