Manage Currents profiles

To create a Currents profile for individual users in your organization:

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. Add the user, if necessary.
3. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsGoogle WorkspaceCurrents.
4. Click Profiles.
5. Select the box next to one or more users.
6. Click Create profiles .
7. Review the information in the pop-up window and indicate the user's age.
   • If you select a single user who is 18 or older, choose I have read these terms and certify the user is over the age of 18.
   • If you select a single user who meets the minimum age requirements for Currents, choose I have read these terms and certify the user’s date of birth is and enter the user’s date of birth.
   • If you select multiple users, you can only certify that they are all over the age of 18.
     
     Tip: Because Currents has minimum age requirements, you must certify the user's age to create a profile for them. If you cannot certify the user's age, the user can create a Currents profile on their own. Tell users about Currents Profiles.
8. Click OK.
9. Click a person's name to view details about the new profile.

3. Click Advanced settings.
4. Under Profile creation, select Automatically create Currents profiles.
5. Certify that all users in the organization are over the age of 18 (and that no users under 18 will be added to the organization), and click Apply.
6. Click Save.

Notes

• A profile is not created if the user has a public Gmail picture or profile photo in their Album Archive. These users must individually sign up and acknowledge the changes to their photos.
• Wait up to 48 hours (or longer) for the profiles to be created. Currents profiles are also created when you add new users.
• A profile is not created if the user previously deleted their Currents profile. This ensures that the user's previously expressed preference is honored.

To delete a Currents profile for specific people in your domain:

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsGoogle WorkspaceCurrents.
3. To apply the setting to everyone, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit or a configuration group.
4. Click Profiles.
5. Select the box next to one or more users (roll over their profile picture).
6. Click Delete profiles .
7. Carefully review the summary that explains the consequences of deleting a Currents profile.
8. If you still want to proceed, select the required box at the end of this summary and click OK.

Deleting a person’s Currents profile is permanent. To use Currents again, the user needs to create a new profile.
