Use Directory Sync to replace the domain name for synced users
Monday, June 12, 2023
What’s changing
Using Directory Sync, admins can automatically replace the domain name for synced users and groups in their Google cloud directory. This means synced Google users and groups can have a different domain name than the domain used in the external directory following a sync.
Verified domain names within your Google Workspace account can be used to replace user and group domain names. Admins can specify whether the domain change will occur for:
- Newly synced users and groups
- New and previously synced users and groups
Directory Sync is available as an open beta, meaning no sign-up is required. Use our Help Center to learn more about using Directory Sync and FAQs.
Getting started
- Admins: To use the Directory Sync, go to Admin console > Home > Directory > Directory Sync. Visit the Help Center to learn more about replacing the domain name for your synced users.
- End users: No end user impact
