Manage user accounts from an iOS device

Before people in your organization can begin using Google services, you need to add each user to your Google Workspace account.

You can also add users from Google Contacts on your iOS device.

To add a new user:

1. Open the Google Admin app . Set up now.
2. If necessary, tap Menu the Down arrow to switch to your super administrator account.
3. Tap Menu Users.
4. Tap Add Add User.
5. Enter the user’s details.
6. (Optional) Set the user's initial password.

   By default, the Google Admin app generates a temporary password for the new user. The password character length is greater than the required minimum.

   • (Optional) To change the initial password, change Auto generate password to OFF and enter a new password twice.

     Google requires the password to be at least 8 characters. See Password help for tips on how to create a strong password.

   • (Optional) Require the user to change their password when they next sign in.

     By default, this requirement is on.

7. To add additional information, tap Add more info. This information is visible in the Google Admin console and Gmail contacts.
8. Tap Done .
9. (Optional) To send details to the new user, tap Share.

You can temporarily block a user’s access to your organization’s Google services by suspending the user’s account. This doesn’t delete the user’s profile or data, such as documents, calendar events, or email messages. However, the user can no longer sign in to the account or get and new email or calendar invitations.

To suspend one or more users:

1. Open the Google Admin app . Set up now.
2. If necessary, tap Menu the Down arrow to switch to your super administrator account.
3. Tap Menu Users.
4. Tap a user’s image (not the user’s name) to select them. You can select more than one user.
5. Tap Suspend Suspend to confirm.

To suspend a single user from the user’s details page:

5. Tap More SuspendSuspend to confirm.

When users leave your organization, you might want to delete their user accounts. Deleting a user’s account deletes their Google Workspace data, including their email messages and calendar data. It also blocks them from accessing your organization's Google Workspace services, including Drive files they own.

To delete one or more users:

1. Open the Google Admin app . Set up now.
2. If necessary, tap Menu the Down arrow to switch to your super administrator account.

5. Tap More Delete Delete to confirm.

If a user forgets their password, or if you think their account has been compromised, you can reset their password. If you forgot your administrator password, see Reset your administrator password.

To reset a user’s password:

1. Open the Google Admin app . Set up now.
2. If necessary, tap Menu the Down arrow to switch to your super administrator account.
3. Tap Menu Users.
4. Tap a user’s image (not the user’s name) to select them.
5. Tap Reset . By default, Auto generate password is turned on, which generates a random password. Turn it off if you want to set the password. If you choose to set the password, enter it and re-enter it to confirm.
6. (Optional) To force a user to change their password when they next sign in, turn on Require a change of password in the next login.
7. Tap Reset.

   If a secondary email address is available for the user, the user is automatically notified of the password change via that email address. If no email address is available, tap Notify to alert the user of the password change using another method, such as Google Chat.
