Google Apps Admin is an account management module specially written for schools to manage their Google Apps user accounts, it is an add-on module if you have domains running with Google Apps.
Among the major features are:
- Bulk Account Management
With our iSchool Portal Google Apps Admin module, we had simplified the process of account creations in large volumes, where we provide tools for you to extract Students and Teachers’ profiles from our iSchool Management Systems, or your existing user email accounts.
- Mailing List Management
We also provide import functions for you upload these extracted data into the iSchool Portal, where you can manage all your Google Apps Accounts and mailing list easily, including various class list, teacher lists, sports and co-curriculum groups etc
- Additional Information for your School Operations
We provide addition school information on our iSchool Portal database, which is not available on Google Apps, e.g. School’s name, Class info, student Identity cards, for use in the management of user accounts. Our iSchool Portal is able to handle multiple schools using a single domain for the Google Apps, ideally designed for School districts.
- Account Disbursements
Once the accounts were created, either individually or batch, we will provide a PDF generated User Notification Letters, where administrators can generate and print out the Notification letters and distribute to the students, class by class. With this easy to use function, you no longer need to copy down each user ID and password manually and distribute to your user.
- Live synchronization and updating with Google Apps
All information updates done on the iSchool Portal are updated live to the Google Apps accounts, using the Google’s APIs, including creations of accounts, password change and re-issuance of lost password.
- Re-issuance of lost Passwords
We provide an automated mechanism for users to retrieve their lost password through an alternative email notification. The School Administrators can also perform manual re-issuance of passwords, and re-generate the new User Notification Letter.
