Technical Support and Workspace Access

What is a "super admin" and how do I find mine for Google Workspace?

A super admin is the highest-level administrator for your company's Google Workspace account. They have full permissions to resolve technical issues. If you don't know who your super admin is, use this guide to identify them.

What should I do if I see a "Cloud Identity" or "Domain Verification" error?

These are common login issues your super admin can resolve.

  • Cloud Identity Error: Your super admin needs to ensure Cloud Identity Free is properly set up for your account.

  • Domain Verification Error: Your super admin or IT team must prove domain ownership. If issues persist, use the domain verification troubleshooter.

How do I resolve Cloud Identity errors as a Workspace Super Admin?

If you are reporting a Cloud Identity error, it means you need a license assigned to you. You can fix this for free in the Google Workspace Admin Console.

Step 1: Check Your Current Subscriptions
First, see if Cloud Identity is already active on your account.

  • Navigate to Billing > Subscriptions in your Admin Console.
  • Look for "Cloud Identity (Free)" or "Cloud Identity Premium."
  • If you see it listed, skip to Step 3.

Step 2: Add the Cloud Identity Free Service
If Cloud Identity isn't listed, you'll need to add the free version.

  • While in the Subscriptions menu, find and sign up for Cloud Identity Free.
  • This service is free and includes up to 50 licenses for your users.

Step 3: Assign Licenses to Your Users
Once the subscription is active, you must assign the licenses.

  • Navigate to Directory > Users.
  • Select the users who are experiencing the error.
  • Assign each of them a Cloud Identity Free license. This will resolve the login issue.
