About

Guest access in Microsoft 365 is easy to enable and hard to control. Users invite external collaborators, IT loses track, and over time the tenant fills up with guests nobody remembers inviting. External User Manager gives IT admins a structured process for every step of external access: request, approval, onboarding, and offboarding. Team owners submit guest invitations through a defined workflow. IT reviews and approves before access is granted. New guests get onboarded with the right permissions from day one. Lifecycle management keeps the guest list clean. Automatic reminders go out to team owners at set intervals to confirm whether access is still needed. No manual audits, no stale accounts sitting in the tenant for years. Everything runs inside Microsoft Teams. No external portal. Installs from the Microsoft Teams App Store. Used by IT teams managing external collaboration across 500 to 10,000+ users.

About

gPanel by Promevo is an all-in-one Google Workspace administration tool, developed by a Google Diamond partner, that simplifies and centralizes user management, security, and automation. Whether onboarding, offboarding, or managing users at scale, gPanel helps IT admins save time and reduce manual effort. With an intuitive, single-page interface, admins can automate tasks like provisioning, deprovisioning, user suspension, Gmail signature management, and Shared Drive access. gPanel offers granular control over Docs, Groups, Sites, and email settings. Unlike the native admin console, gPanel provides advanced visibility into Google Drive. Admins can search text across all user files, view sharing settings, and instantly transfer file ownership — making it ideal for reporting, offboarding, and compliance. Whether you need Google Workspace automation, user access management, or a Google Admin Console alternative, gPanel delivers smarter control and streamlined workflows.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The user view is way more intuitive than the native google admin console. to be able to view and edit certain areas such as email delegation or calendar sharing is a game changer. On top of that, it also gives you the ability to search for items in google drive. This has came in handy when we have had a user out of office or left the company, we have been able to find and share documents with ease.
  • gPanel adds some user management features that are curiously absent from Google's native admin portal. These admin features are essential for most administrators and tenants. It also adds very useful drive and calendar management features as well as some automation capabilities.
  • It makes it much easier to manage accounts for users. For example, comparing and then copying group membership.
  • My favorite features of gPanel are features that are not natively available or easy to use in Google Workspace. The ability to easily scan users' Google Drives or calendars or manage users and much more makes gPanel a great tool for any workspace administrator.
  • A lot of features that we cant find at others admin panels, and waaaay easier to use, of understanding
  • Drive Ownership Transfer: This is a standout function. It simplifies the process of migrating files between users, ensuring data continuity without the usual administrative hurdles. Gmail Inbox Delegation: The interface for managing delegate access is intuitive and saves our IT team a significant amount of time.
  • Where to begin, I wouldn't even think about administering a Google Workspace without gPanel. There are so many features that Google doesn't have in it's own admin console and gPanel goes above and beyond to fill those gaps. From being able to edit a users GMail settings, to managing delegation and even automating offboarding gPanel has it all. On top of that their support and dedication to their customers is top notch!
  • gPanel takes a lot of the heavy lifting out of Workspace administration. It’s made it easy for us to: - Manage user accounts and groups - Handle email signatures consistently - Clean up Drive ownership when people leave - Keep track of sharing settings - Run bulk updates without spending hours in the Admin console Overall, it’s helped us streamline workflows and stay organized, especially as our user count has grown.

SaaS Management Supported

While broad SaaS Management Platforms focus on high-level application discovery and spend tracking across dozens of third-party vendors, gPanel by Promevo delivers deep, native administration and security control engineered specifically for Google Workspace. IT teams rely on gPanel to move past surface-level SaaS accounting into direct domain management. Key capabilities include visual Google Drive sweeping and inspection without resetting user passwords, centralized license harvesting based on real-time login activity, OAuth scope analysis to eliminate Shadow IT, and custom email signature enforcement domain-wide. Organizations choose gPanel over generic SMP tools when their core operational priority is complete security, automated governance, and precise lifecycle control inside their Google ecosystem.

Managing employee lifecycles requires more than standard identity syncs. gPanel by Promevo elevates user provisioning and governance by transforming complex identity management into automated, zero-touch workflows for Google Workspace. Rather than relying on simple role templates, gPanel arms IT administrators with over 1,000 custom permission roles and Limited Visibility settings to restrict delegated access down to specific Organizational Units or user groups. gPanel automates onboarding, offboarding, and Google Vault data retention. It also triggers dynamic contact synchronization, license reclamation, and email signature provisioning out of the box. Organizations select gPanel over traditional identity and governance tools for its specialized, deep integration into Google Workspace, eliminating human error while maintaining rigid security policies.
