Change a reseller's access to your Admin console

If you have one or more Google Workspace, Cloud Identity, or other paid subscriptions that are managed by a reseller, the reseller can access your Google Admin console and submit support cases and provide other services for you, unless you remove access.

Google recommends that you allow resellers to access your subscriptions so they can troubleshoot issues for you.

What resellers can access

Resellers who have access to your subscriptions can access these Admin console services.

If you work with multiple resellers

If you buy services from more than one reseller, they all get access to the Admin console unless you turn off access. Providing access to more than one reseller can have financial implications for your organization. A reseller can assign user licenses only for services that they sold to you.

Change reseller access

You must be signed in as a super administrator for this task.

If you turn off reseller access to your Admin console, you remove access to all Admin console services for all resellers. Changes can take up to 24 hours but typically happen more quickly. Learn more

  • Your Support Manager role in Google Cloud Support will be automatically removed.
