Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an active user license and an archived user license?
An active user license provides full access to all Google Workspace applications and services. An archived user license grants access only to the data of the archived user, primarily for retention and retrieval purposes, without access to active services.
Can I convert an active user to an archived user?
Yes, administrators can typically transition an active user account to an archived state and assign an archived user license to manage their data according to retention policies.
How long is data retained with an archived user license?
Data retention duration is determined by your organization's Google Workspace retention policies and any applicable regulatory requirements. The archived user license ensures the data remains accessible for as long as it needs to be retained.
