What is Google Admin?

It is an administration console for our Google Workspace, where it is possible to perform all kinds of monitoring, control, and security tasks, such as adding or removing users, manage invoices or applications, configure mobile devices, and everything having to do with monitoring accounts.

So once the administrator is assigned, they can help you with the following:

• Help you troubleshoot or answer questions related to your account.
• Change your Google account password, in case you forget it.
• Activate Google services that you can use with your account, such as YouTube, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, etc.

However, administrator privileges determine the roles you have available and the tasks you can perform. For example, an administrator with User privilege can only perform actions related to the role assigned, for which you will not be able to see all the rest of the functions and utilities of the tool.
