Assign Google Workspace reseller admin privileges

If you resell Google Cloud, assign your users Google Cloud reseller admin privileges.

Grant your users privileges to resell and manage Google Workspace and other services that use the Google Admin console.

Set up Google Workspace reseller admins

Give the user an account at your Cloud Identity or Google Workspace reseller account. Then assign the Reseller Admin role, or create a custom role with specific reseller permissions.

Note: The Reseller Admin role and reseller privileges don't grant access to your organization's Google Admin console.

Assign the Reseller Admin role

The Reseller Admin role grants access to all features in the Manage Reseller Tools table below, including:

  • Resale of Google Workspace in the Partner Sales Console.
  • Manage cases in the Customer Care Portal. Learn more
  • Access to your customers' Google Admin console (if allowed by the customer). Learn more
  • Billing information and Support settings. 
  • Reseller-related APIs.
