Hello Guys, Welcome back to my tutorials in Google apps. In this tutorial we will learn how we can create admin roles in Google apps. You see a console here which is admin roles. So basically admins are needed in a organisation so that people should not face any problem and would be getting constant support when they face any problem relating to all Google app and services. So when you go to the console. You can see some system defined roles or pre built roles and there is a section for user created roles. So system roles are basically provided by Google apps. These are the 5 types of system roles which are there in system super-admin, groups admin, user management admin, help-desk admin, and services admin. Suppose you need to create a custom admin role for someone then you can go to user created role and create it. I will tell you how to do that in my next tutorial. In this tutorials we will talk about system roles. So you can see first one is super-admin, so super admin is one who has all the privileges on Google apps like every function or every thing can be done by super-admin, you see when we go to privileges section i have everything ticked here and its grad out and i am not able to change it, because its a system defined.
You see every section of Google apps is ticked because its a super-admin. you can defined an admin by assign admin here. so i type the name of someone who is here so this is a user name.so i assign him as super admin.When i confirmed assignment. you see Admin successful added to the role:super Admin. So this user now become a super Admin, similarly if we check groups admin. under the privileges section. It has some minimal privileges for organisational unit. Only read section in users unit and for groups it has full privileges but other than this it doesn’t have has any privileges. So Google apps has made it like you can defines admins according to your requirements but sometimes according to your organisational structure you may need user created role as i told before. Now if we go to user management admin, you can see it has full privileges for user section and some minimal privileges as required for other sections. Similarly they have assign privileges for help desk admin and services admin. So you can go through the privileges and assign and unassign the admins here.
If you want to remove the admin. I will remove the admin from here, when i will un-assign admin so a pop-up comes up, ‘Are you sure you want to unassign the selected admin(s) from the role?’ so i click on OK. So admins successfully removed from role: Super Admin. You should be very careful while assigning someone as the super admin role because he will retain every privilege to Google apps. He would be able to modulate every setting and every user profile settings. So you can do it according to your requirement. Also i will tell you you can get some more knowledge about it on support.google.com, When you search admin roles Google appsso you can see this is the first link which comes Pre-built admin roles. When you go to link(https://support.google.com/a/answer/2405986?hl=en) you can find the description of all the system defined admin roles. So this will help you a lot to who can be given the privileges.
Thank you.
