Multi-tenancy management for GAT+ Admins

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.

  • Complete Control:
    • Seamless management of all products within the host domain.
    • Full control over Managed accounts, covering GAT+, Flow, Shield, and Teacher Assist.
  • BETA Version Note:
    • Please note that the current version is in BETA.

      • Scheduled reports will be set by default to work if the local admin created them (additional recipients can be added via advanced mode))
      • Export into Google Spreadsheet will show an error message; use CSV export instead.
  • Admin Log Transparency:
    • The Admin Log functions normally, creating an immutable record of all actions done by the Super Admins.
