Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Archived User license?
An Archived User license is a special type of Google Workspace license designed for users who no longer actively use the service but whose data needs to be retained for compliance or historical purposes. It offers access to their data at a reduced cost compared to a full user license.
Can I access all data from an archived user?
Yes, with an Archived User license, you can access the user's Gmail, Google Drive files, and other data associated with their account, subject to your organization's data retention policies.
How does this differ from a suspended user?
A suspended user account is temporarily disabled, but the license is still active. An Archived User license is specifically for inactive accounts where the primary goal is data retention at a lower cost, and the user is no longer active.
