Profile

The Company profile holds the organization's general information and preferences, and it's your first step into personalizing G Suite.

In this section, we'll set up the basic company information and some preferences. Let's explore them in detail:

  • Organization name: This field will be used in all your Google services and public information for this account. This will be the same for all the domains that are registered for this G Suite account.
  • Contact information: You will see the administrators contact emails. The primary administrator account is the email for this domain where users can reach you, and the secondary email address is the personal email you used for the registration flow.
  • Support message: This message is shown to users who are looking for help information about the domain. This is some additional information that you wish to tell your users when they are looking for help; for example, your service hours and any other relevant information.
  • Language: This field sets the default language for new accounts in this domain. Individual users may set up their own language preferences later.
  • Time zone: This section has two drop-down menus that allows you to define a default time zone:
    • The first is used to narrow down the list of time zones to those that are within a country
    • The second is used to actually select the time zone you wish to apply as default
  • New user features: Google Suite is a continuously evolving platform, and updates are released constantly. In the new user features release policy, you can choose when those changes will be applied to your team's workspace. For this, you have two options: Rapid releasewhich means you want newly released features to be applied immediately for your team, and Scheduled releasewhich allows you to hold any changes for some time so you can learn about the changes and prepare your team in advance. This is usually one or two weeks after the actual release.
  • New products: Here, we have a new products release policy, where you can choose when you prefer to make new G Suite products available for your team. You can choose for them to be released according to an Automatic policy, which will make new products immediately available, or the Manual policy, which will notify the administrator of new products and leave it up to you if and when they will be made available for the team.
  • Analytics: This option allows you to activate tracking of the use of Google services from this account. We will come back to this in another chapter.
  • Account deletion: This section holds the requirements and a button to permanently delete this account. However, before doing so, it will require you to cancel all active payment subscriptions. If you bought the domain name through Google, it will also ask you to transfer it before the Delete this account option becomes available.
  • Security and privacy additional terms: This section contains a list with a few amendments for you to review and agree to, if they are applicable to your needs. Please review them carefully by clicking on each one, then press REVIEW AND ACCEPT on the ones that apply to your account.

Click SAVE on the bottom right to save any changes you made to the Company Profile. You can come back to this section in the future to update these settings.

Now that you know how to set up the general information and preferences for this domain, let's continue to the next section to learn what Communication preferences are and how to define them.
