When you add a customer in the Partner Sales Console, you have access to the customer's Google Admin console.
Customers can restrict your access even if you’re contractually obligated to provide them full support. So it’s important that you and your customers agree on a policy for your access to their Admin console.
Subscriptions purchased from Google
Your customers can also give you Admin Console access to subscriptions they've purchased directly from Google, such as Google Voice and Chrome Enterprise Upgrade.
The decision to provide support to your customer for the subscriptions they've purchased from Google is between you and your customer. Providing support to your customer for their direct subscriptions does not entitle you to any margins, and may not entitle you to any rebates, or other incentives from Google.
If a customer grants you access to their subscriptions purchased from Google, you have access to only these Admin console services.
