In the Google Admin console, you can search for:
- Users
- Groups
- Features
- Settings
- Meetings
- Meeting room hardware
For example, you can search for users’ email addresses, team mailing lists, or password reset settings. You don't have to be exact with the search terms and you can use everyday words.
If you don’t see what you need in the results, check the list under Help articles. There you’ll find a list of Help Center articles about your topic.
