Account Administration

Google Apps for Education is all about choice. By giving IT departments control over what services to implement as well as the level of integration with existing systems, we give schools the option of enhancing their current offering without having to choose between an all or nothing installation of Google technologies. Google Apps for Education administration tools make managing user accounts simple. We eliminate the need for additional systems or hardware (saving you time and money) by providing your school with an easy-to-use, web-based console and a set of APIs that you can use to integrate the services into your existing infrastructure.

Administration Console

Our web-based interface allows you to:
• Select the Google Apps for Education that you want to deploy
• Customize the applications' interfaces with your school's logo, colors scheme and content
• Add, remove, suspend and delete users
• Monitor account usage
• Create email lists
• Set (and reset) user passwords
• Bulk upload new users and modify user information

Since there's no need to constantly monitor our services, you can take that tropical vacation you've always wanted to. And if something comes up, you can securely log in to the the console from virtually anywhere.

APIs

If it's important to have high levels of account automation and integration with your current systems, you may want to consider using our APIs. We have a lot of experience creating easy-to-use APIs for a large number of Google products and have applied this knowledge to Google Apps for Education. Using our APIs to tie Google Apps for Education in with your existing registration systems, you can utilize your schools single sign on solution, account management, and mail namespace integrated into multiple mail environments. Our APIs currently include:

Integration with Security: Leverage your existing security infrastructure using open protocols and standards. With our Single Sign On using SAML 2.0, your school maintains user security and authentication without adding new layers of complexity.

Account Provisioning & Management: With Google Apps REST-based user provisioning API, your school can integrate our service with your current user provisioning system.

Mail Gateway: By implementing a mail gateway at your school, you can maintain student and staff's @ myschool.edu email namespace using either Google's system or any other mail solution. Allowing you to run a separate mail system for faculty and providing your students a seamless migration from your old mail system to Google Apps.

Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about our APIs offered with Google Apps for Education.
