Google Cloud: G Suite Administrator
Course Description Overview
One of the compelling benefits of using G Suite Basic is that you can leave the server hardware management responsibilities to Google. As the administrator of a G Suite domain, you can control the accounts, resources, and apps from a web browser interface. All of your administrative tasks can be accessed from a specialized page, or console, of dashboard controls. From this Admin console, you can perform all the necessary duties of a domain administrator without having to worry about keeping the physical hardware up and running. In this course, you will learn about creating and managing a G Suite domain.
You can also use this course to prepare for the Google Certified Associate—G Suite Administrator certification exam.
In this course, you will set up and manage the G Suite environment for users.
You will:
- Navigate the G Suite Admin console.
- Create and manage user accounts.
- Use organizational units to manage your G Suite environment.
- Configure and implement Drive storage settings and policies.

This course is designed for business users or IT professionals who need to set up and administer a G Suite domain by creating and managing users, organizational units, groups, calendars, shared resources, and mobile devices. Managing mail routing and delivery, configuring G Suite apps and services, monitoring account activity and apps usage, and maintaining security are included to facilitate communication and collaboration in a secure environment.
