Now, GAT+ empowers Admins to seamlessly manage multiple domains within a single account. This new Multi-Tenancy Management feature streamlines administration by allowing one Admin to oversee various external domains effortlessly.
Here’s how it works: #
- Centralized Control:
- A single Admin account serves as the central hub for managing multiple domains.
- Simplified navigation and oversight for efficient administration.
- Manager Account Access:
- Admins of individual domains grant access to Manager accounts for GAT+ control.
- Collaborate seamlessly with managers without compromising security.
- Impersonation Feature:
- External users cannot access a domain unless granted permission by the Admin using the Impersonation feature.
- Ensures secure and controlled access to domain-specific functionalities.
This streamlined Multi-Tenancy Management feature in GAT+ enhances efficiency, security, and collaboration for Admins overseeing diverse domains.

Access to external domain #
By default the Admin of the recipient domain must give and allow access to the external Admin (domain) to manage and control their domain via GAT+.
The local domain must grant the external Admin to control and manage their domain.
Environment #
By default, this feature works only if the domains are in the same Google data environment such as
- GS – Global data is in USA servers
- UK – data is on UK servers
- EU data is in EU servers
How it Works: #
- Selecting an Account:
- Choose an account to impersonate, granting the user Admin access as if they were from the local domain.
- Admin Control:
- Full GAT+ (all other products) control as if you were the Admin of the local domain.
- User Notification:
- Clear message: “You are impersonating another user” reinforces awareness during the session.
