QuestionQ22

Managing user accounts, domains, and Directory

An employee is departing your company and has many files stored in My Drive. Their manager needs to keep access to these files. You must offboard the departing employee’s Google Workspace account while ensuring the manager can still access the files and following Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

  • A Use Google Vault to establish a retention policy for the organizational unit (OU) of the departing employee. Assign the Google Archived User license.
  • B Instruct the departing employee to share their My Drive folder with the manager before leaving. Delete the Google Workspace account on the departing employee’s last day.
  • C Download the departing employee’s Drive data by using Google Takeout. Upload the data to the manager’s Drive before deleting the departing employee’s Google Workspace account.
  • D Transfer ownership of the departing employee’s files to the manager during the user deletion process.
Explanation

Google Workspace administrators can transfer ownership of a user’s My Drive files to another active user when deleting the account. This retains the files in the organization and gives the manager continued access under their own account.
