You\u2019re probably very familiar with GAM (Google Apps Manager), your good friend in daily work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in addition to its powerful features, it also has its limitations. Do you know what I&#8217;m talking about?

It\u2019s crucial to implement technology solutions that ensure seamless access, modification, and auditing across all aspects of the school domain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u25ab\ufe0f User Management.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is an essential administrative duty that includes creating, updating, and removing accounts for students and school staff. Effective user management is particularly necessary at the beginning and end of a school year for onboarding and offboarding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u25ab\ufe0f Auditing and Reporting.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Detailed insights into activity within the Google Workspace environment are fundamental for professional domain management. They are also vital for school leaders to review student learning paths and make the right decisions to optimize the educational experience and school performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u25ab\ufe0f Safety and Cybersecurity. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementing and adhering to school policies on student security and safety are also the responsibility of Google admins. When managing the school domain, they seek the best solutions to protect student data privacy and strengthen cybersecurity by monitoring online content, user permissions, and shared files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u25ab\ufe0f Task Automation. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automated workflows help admins schedule bulk, repetitive tasks such as onboarding, reporting, implementing security processes, or massive email signature modification. Automation saves time and reduces the risk of human error.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u25ab\ufe0f Classroom Management. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">School admins need an efficient tool to keep all classrooms under control. This should provide seamless functionality to create, modify, and delete virtual classrooms, and to add and remove student and teacher accounts to relevant classrooms and groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Why GAM (Google Apps Manager) is the First Choice Tool for Google Admins<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Workspace management involves multiple complex tasks, so admins must apply third-party tools to ease their daily work. The most common solution, surely you have heard about, is Google Apps Manager (GAM).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do most Google admins start using this tool? The answer is quite simple: GAM is a free code-based program designed to simplify Google Workspace management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The command-line interface lets you manage the domain and run bulk operations, which can be time-consuming when done manually. Thus, GAM\u2019s capabilities extend beyond those of the Google Admin Console.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, GAM is a perfect free tool if you\u2019re an admin passionate about the old-school style and have lots of time to code and learn new commands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>GAT Labs: Next Level of Your School Domain Management<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, admins are usually short on time; at worst, they are just one-person IT departments with endless task lists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many Google admins are looking for an alternative to Google Apps Manager (GAM) to gain a graphical domain overview and additional auditing capabilities. If you\u2019re one of them, we have good news: you\u2019re on the right track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/gat-suite-for-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GAT Suite for Education<\/a> covers almost every action performed in GAM &#8211; without coding. It provides a graphic user interface and granular, real-time insights to audit the state of your domain easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real flesh and blood school admins have told us what they look for &#8211; and it can all be done without code using GAT tools:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Showing clearly on a visual dashboard what is where in the domain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auditing Drives, users, classrooms, groups, files, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determining which users have enabled mail forwarding.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing archived users to alleviate the use of Google&#8217;s Archived User license and general management of user accounts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a list of files shared into and outside the domain, changing ownership, and setting email delegation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating workflows and allowing other users to run them to reduce the admin\u2019s overload.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And much more!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>GAM &amp; GAT Overview<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both tools greatly support each admin\u2019s daily work, saving time and simplifying bulk actions.
