Scheduled Automatic Removal of Google Workspace Users

3 min read

With GAT Flow you can set up a workflow to automatically suspend or delete users from your G Suite environment

Ideal for temporary G Suite accounts in your Domain. #

Flow can be used to onboard user’s details on this page 

Schedule #

If the accounts are temporary, the admin can schedule the workflow to happen on a future date.

  • OffBoard users – delete them from your domain
  • Modify – Suspend the users, if they need to be ‘reactivated’ at a later time.

Create workflow #

A new window will be opened.

Select Create workflow from the menu on left

In “Workflow type” add a name and pick the workflow type to Offboarding or Modify

  • Modify – you can ‘suspend user’, that can be re-activated.
  • Offboard – user will either be archived/suspended/deleted from your domain depending on the offboarding action chosen.
