User-Friendly OU Management Tools for Google Workspace
Managing OUs in the Google Admin Console can be slow and complicated, especially when you’re dealing with a large or fast-changing organization. gPanel makes OU management simple by giving admins the ability to organize users, apply consistent settings, and adapt quickly and with less manual work and fewer administrative errors.
Making OU Management Easy for IT Admins
Organizational Units (OUs) are the foundation of Workspace policies and settings, but maintaining a clean structure is often complicated. Moving users between OUs or restructuring departments can introduce errors that leave gaps in access or compliance. Over time, these missteps create confusion and inefficiency.
gPanel simplifies OU management so admins can align structure with business needs while maintaining consistency.
