Merge domains from separate accounts

You can merge domains from separate managed Google Accounts, such as Google Workspace or Cloud Identity, into one account. When you do, you can manage users and services from one Google Admin console. Then, users in those domains can share Google services.

Before you begin

First, perform this procedure when an extended amount of downtime won’t disrupt your business or organization. You might not be able to use your secondary or alias domain for a while.

Request to have apps transferred to the new account. For details, go to Transfer apps to a different developer account.

  1. Cancel your Google Workspace or Cloud Identity subscription and delete all but one of your accounts. Depending on your subscription, for details, go to:
