Manage or delete Google Workspace users in Google Domains

You can use Google Domains to perform some Google Workspace user management tasks, including:

• Reset a user’s password
• Change a user’s name
• Delete a user

Important: If you purchased Google Workspace separate from Google Domains, learn how to delete Google Workspace users individually.

Reset a user's password

If a user loses access to their account, you may need to reset their password. Follow the steps below:

1. Sign in to Google Domains.
2. Select the name of your domain.
3. Open the menu .
4. Click Email.
5. Under "Add or remove people from Google Workspace," find the user whose password you want to reset, and click Edit .
6. Below the username, click Reset password.
7. Enter the email address where you’d like to send a new temporary password. Use an address that’s not the user’s Google Workspace email address, as they don't have access to that address.
8. Click Send reset email.

If you’re still having trouble signing in, follow these steps.

Change a user’s name

When a user changes their first or last name, you can update their Google Workspace account information accordingly. Follow the steps below:

1. Sign in to Google Domains.
2. Select the name of your domain.
3. Open the menu .
4. Click Email.
5. Under "Add or remove people from Google Workspace," find the user. To update the name, click Edit . 
6. Click Save.

Important: To change a user’s email address, sign in to your Admin Console. Follow the instructions to change a user’s name and email address.

Delete a user

In some cases, you may need to delete a Google Workspace user, for example, if someone leaves your company. Follow the steps below:

1. Sign in to Google Domains.
2. Select the name of your domain.
3. Open the menu . 
4. Click Email.
5. Under "Add or remove people from Google Workspace," find the user you'd like to delete and click Delete .
6. Click Delete to confirm deletion.

You have 20 days to restore a deleted user account.

Important: When you delete a user account, all of that user’s email and account data is also deleted. We recommend taking these steps to prepare for deleting an account. If you’re not sure if you need to delete a user, you also have the option to suspend a user from the Admin Console.
