About email-verified accounts

A customer with an email-verified account cannot purchase other Google Workspace services, such as Google Vault, unless they verify their domain.

Multiple teams can purchase email-verified Enterprise Essentials or Enterprise Essentials Plus. If teams used the same customer name, the console shows the unique Cloud Identity ID.

Setup tips

Your access to a new customer’s Google Admin console is turned on by default. After you add a customer, you might want to update the customer’s language and time zone. For details, go to:

Depending on your region, you might also want to Turn on or off Gmail, Chat, and Meet smart features and personalization.

You can’t perform some tasks in the customer’s Admin console. For details, go to Reseller limitations in a customer's Admin console.

Stay up to date with customer information

If a customer changes their account information in the Google Admin console, the changes aren't automatically updated in your Partner Sales Console. To stay up to date, remind customers to notify you when they change their organization, domain, or administrator addresses. For more information, go to Manage customers' account and domain information.
