From: The G Suite Team Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 at 5:18 am Subject: Important Information About Your Brand Account
Dear G Suite For Education User,
It has come to our attention that your user account @education.nsw.gov.au has been used to create or join a Brand Account. Brand Accounts allow users to use a separate identity (e.g., a brand identity), on certain Google services like YouTube, Google Photos, and Google+. Brand Accounts are not currently supported for G Suite for Education primary/secondary (K-12) school domains. This means that:
- Your account can no longer be used to create a Brand Account or join an existing Brand Account.
- On July 10, 2019, we will delete any Brand Account for which your user account is the primary owner.
- On July 10, 2019, we will revoke membership of your user account from any remaining Brand Account you are a member of.
Important Notes on Retaining Content prior to July 10, 2019:
- You can see a list of your Brand Accounts by visiting https://myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts in a web browser.
· To preserve any existing content associated with a Brand Account, you can download your data while logged into the Brand Account.
· If you or your organization wish to preserve the entire Brand Account, you can transfer primary ownership to another user. The new primary owner must be either (a) a G Suite account holder that is not in a G Suite for Education primary/secondary (K-12) school domain or (b) a consumer account holder (i.e., account@gmail.com).
If you have any questions, please contact the domain administrator of your school.
Sincerely,
The G Suite Team
