To manage a user's settings, go to their account page in your Google Admin console. Here, you can do things like change a user's password, give them another email address, and more.
Go to a user's account page
-
Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).
- From the Admin console Home page, go to Users.
- Locate the user in the list and click the name to open their account page.
Tip: If users are grouped in organizational units, you can find them more quickly by first selecting the organizational unit they belong to. You might need to click Open
at the upper left to see organizational units.
Filter the Users list
-
Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).
- From the Admin console Home page, go to Users.
- Above the Users list, click Add a Filter.
- Choose an option:
- Select a category to filter the list, such as First name, Last name, Email, and so on. Select an option or enter the filter text, and click Apply.
- Start typing characters for the filter you want to use, such as a first name, last name, or username. When you see the filter you want, select it.
- In the filter results, click the name to open their account page.
Search for a user's account page
-
Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).
- In the search box, type the user's name or email address.
- In the list of matching accounts that appears, click an account to go to its page.
Search looks for addresses and first and last names that begin with your search text. It doesn't look for text in the middle or end of a word.
For example, if you search for bert, you'll get results for Bert and Bertrand, but not for Robert.
Shortcuts and tips
Use search operatorsNarrow your search for user accounts with these operators. Enter the operator, the equal (=) sign, and your search text.
| Operator | Finds users... | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| domain | In a specific domain | domain=example.com |
| Whose email addresses match your search text | email=rob@example.com | |
| givenName | Whose first names match your search text | givenName=rob |
| familyName | Whose last names match your search text | familyName=smith |
Tip: Searches can return group accounts, too. If you use search operators, however, you must include the email operator to return any group results, as in email=marketing.
Enter two or more search operators to narrow your search even further.
| Example | Finds users... |
|---|---|
| domain=example.com email=rob | In example.com whose email addresses start with rob |
| domain=example.com givenName=rob | In example.com whose first names start with rob |
| givenName=rob familyName=smith | Whose first names start with rob and last names start with smith |
| domain=example.com email=rob givenName=bob | In example.com whose email addresses start with rob and first names start with bob. |
