Create a Google Workspace account with admin access for me

What this does

This creates a new user in your Google Workspace and gives it admin rights so I can set up and manage your email, users, groups, and security settings. Admin roles can only be granted to accounts inside your organization, so a dedicated admin account is the standard approach.

I set it up as a generic admin account (for example [email protected], named after your company rather than me). That keeps it a clear service account that you own — if we ever stop working together, you simply reset its password instead of untangling an account tied to my name.

Heads up on cost: a new user takes up a licensed seat, which may add to your Google Workspace bill. If you'd rather not add a seat, let me know and we'll talk through alternatives.

Steps

1. Create the account

1. Sign in to the Google Admin console at admin.google.com with a super-admin account.
2. Go to Directory → Users.
3. Click Add new user.
4. Fill in the details for a generic admin account — not one in my name:
   • First name: your company name (for example, Acme)
   • Last name: Admin
   • Primary email: [email protected] (replace yourdomain.com with your domain). If admin@ is taken, anything similar works — for example it-admin@ or techtegrity@.
5. Let Google auto-generate a password, or set one yourself.
6. Click Add new user.

2. Grant admin access

1. From Directory → Users, click the account you just created.
2. Open Admin roles and privileges.
3. Click Assign roles and choose one:
   • Super Admin — recommended. Avoids permission gaps so I can complete the setup without coming back to you for access.
   • A narrower prebuilt role (for example User Management) if you prefer least privilege. This works, but I may need more access later depending on the task.
4. Save.

3. Send me the password securely

Please don't email the password in plain text. Send it to me using my secure form instead:

techtegrity.com/forms/send-password

Google will prompt me to change the password and turn on 2-step verification the first time I sign in.

When you're done

Once I have the account and password, I'll sign in, confirm access, and get to work. You can view or remove the admin role at any time under Directory → Users → (the admin account) → Admin roles and privileges.
