Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an active and an archived user license?
An active user license provides full access to all Google Workspace features for current employees. An archived user license, on the other hand, is a cost-effective option for retaining data from former employees, offering limited access primarily for data retrieval and compliance.
Can archived users still access their email?
Archived users typically do not have active login capabilities. However, administrators can access and retrieve their data, such as emails and documents, on behalf of the organization.
