With Google Workspace Enterprise Essentials, customers get many of the features of other editions of Google Workspace but without the cost of services they might not need, such as Gmail.
Features include collaboration and video conferencing with enterprise-grade security and management, and integrations with existing email and calendar solutions. Learn about Enterprise Essentials
Customers can start using Enterprise Essentials by verifying their email address or domain. Email verification is simpler, but the customer doesn't have access to all the features.
About team customers (email-verified)
With an Essentials team account, a user at the organization verifies their email address rather than their domain. Then the user can invite other users in the domain to join their team. An organization can have multiple team accounts.
- Available only to new customers
- Includes a select set of Essentials services and features. Compare feature.
- Teams cannot purchase other Google Workspace services, such as Workspace Additional Storage, unless they have Enterprise Essentials.
- Multiple teams at the organization can purchase Essentials subscriptions.
Multiple team customers
When you order Enterprise Essentials for multiple customers at the same organization name and domain, the console shows each customer's unique Cloud Identity ID.
Unlocking Essentials features for multiple team customers
A customer can verify their domain to unlock additional Essentials features. Some differences from Essentials orders placed directly with Google:
- When a customer verifies their domain, they assume administrative control only for their Essentials account and users. There's no change to other Essentials team accounts that use the same domain name. Each Essentials team verifies their domain to unlock additional features.
- The customer's Contact information continues to show Team customer and their unique Cloud Identity ID.
- The customer cannot purchase other Google Workspace services, such as Workspace Additional Storage or Google Voice.
- You can order Essentials or Enterprise Essentials for other customers at the domain.
