Stuff to Remember
Basic stuff to remember to set up for workspaces for personal accounts or tiny businesses.
Directory
- Add groups for various mail lists:
- Special groups (for all domains): abuse@domain, postmaster@domain
Apps
- Calendar:
- Adjust sharing settings, both under "sharing settings" and "general settings".
- Drive and Docs:
- Adjust sharing settings.
- Disable Drive for Desktop?
- Gmail:
- Setup a catch-all default routing rule: All recipients, add "X-GM" headers, "perform this action only on non-recognized addresses". Add a recipient with "change envelope recipient" to the address it should go to (e.g. "catch-all@example.net"), "suppress bounces from this recipient", add headers (again), prepend custom subject (e.g. "[Catch-All]"). Remember to add the recipient address as an alias to a user or group.
- Setup mail authentication (DKIM). Copy the record to DNS. (Make sure DMARC and SPF is configured too.)
Security
- 2-step verification: Enable 2FA enforcement?
- Account recovery: Enable account recovery for superadmin and non-admin user accounts?
Account
- Admin roles
- Add extra admin users?
- Domains:
- Add a primary domain and optional secondary domains.
- Configure DNS to both receive and send mail from all domains (as part of the wizard to add them).
- Add SPF and DKIM DNS records for the domains. Make sure the DMARC DNS record is set up properly too.
- Branding:
- Add a personalization logo. PNG/GIF, 320x132, max 30kB.
