More power to Google Apps administrators

Friday, August 19, 2011



In our continuous drive to make it easier for Google Apps administrators to create, manage and secure their users and data, we’ve introduced a number of features over time in the Google Apps for Business administrative control panel, such as the delegated administration, multi-domain support and fine-grained user policy management, just to name a few. These features have been well-received by the administrator community and we’ve seen healthy adoption among Google Apps for Business customers where these capabilities are helpful.

Starting today, millions of organizations using our free Google Apps service can begin taking advantage of these capabilities and many more as well. Now all Google Apps administrators can use advanced control panel features to manage users and customize the security policies for their organizations, regardless of which version of Google Apps they’re using.

If your company uses our free Google Apps service and requires additional business-critical features such as 24x7 support, 25GB mailboxes, enhanced functionality like email routing, or advanced reporting or migration tools, you can try a 30-day upgrade to Google Apps for Business for free.

One feature I wish would be available to free domains: mobile security settings. We use a Google Apps domain in our family, and have several Android devices tied to our accounts-- if one of them gets lost, it would be nice to have the remote wipe feature.

This is a great addition to the Google Apps.

and when do I, an administrator, will be able to use google+ or reader (properly) with my account? That's something that I'd like to do...

Does this mean that users signed up for the free Google Apps service are now able to use multi-domain-support, delegated administration and other features mentioned above? Where do I find these features in the admin dashboard?

If it was possible to use this features it would be nice to have the option to merge several free Google Apps accounts to one.

Great! Now when are Profiles coming to Google Apps? Is it still "a few weeks" away?

Frank said...

Thank you, but I rather would have Google Profiles enabled so that I can start using Google+ on my family domain.

Alejandro said...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks a ton! The only thing left are profiles. Right..., they're coming in "a few weeks". Or over 5 months (I get them confused.)
