I am part of an organisation that has been issued, along with several others, a Gmail account within a Google Workspace Team.

 

Each separate part has its own email address, and set its own Password.

 

However, on reading about GWT, I see that the Super Administrator has 'investigative' privileges including searching across all the accounts.

 

Does this mean that the SA does in fact override any measures that an individual group may invoke on their email account, for example including a different email address for security notifications?

Without knowing anything specifically about the setup options, the answer is yes, your organisation has absolute control of organisational accounts. If they want to disable you using an external email for password reset and instead require you to ask internal IT, I'm sure they can do that. If they want to read your email or reassign it to someone else, they can do that.

 

 

 

Do not use work emails for personal information. Would you store your passport or bank statements in your office drawers, or send love letters to an affair through inter-office mail? No? Don't do it with work email.

Thanks for input, much as I thought.

 

Your caveat about personal emails doesn't apply under this scenario.

Work email is for work. Similar applies to docs and sheets you may create. I think your question might be different:

override any measures that an individual group may invoke on their email account, for example including a different email address for security notifications?

I have an impression you're asking about a specific scenario you have in mind.

@gzt ... yes, a specific scenario 😊

 

The Super Administrator abilities have now been understood, thanks.
