Properly use and manage networks in Google Admin Center

To properly use and manage networks in Google Admin Center (Admin Console), follow these best practices and steps:

1. Setting Up and Managing Network Configurations

  • Sign in to the Admin Console with an administrator account

  • Navigate to Devices or the relevant section for managed devices

  • Select the organizational unit (OU) if you want to apply network settings to a specific group (like a department or team).

  • To add a network:

    • For Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or VPN: Click to create the desired network type (e.g., “Create Wi-Fi network” or “Create VPN network”).

    • Enter the required details such as network name, authentication method (e.g., WPA2-Enterprise for Wi-Fi, 802.1X for Ethernet), or VPN configuration (remote host, VPN type, credentials).

    • Specify which device platforms (ChromeOS, Android, iOS, etc.) can use this network.

    • Optionally, set the network to connect automatically for managed devices.

  • To edit or remove a network, select the existing configuration, make changes, and save, or click “Remove” to delete it from the OU.

2. Best Practices for Network Management

  • Use organizational units to apply different network policies to different groups.

  • For Wi-Fi and Ethernet, prefer secure authentication (such as 802.1X Enterprise) to protect network access.

  • For VPN, ensure only supported configurations are pushed, and use strong credentials and certificates1.

  • Regularly review and update network configurations as your organization’s needs change.

3. Advanced Network Design and Connectivity (Google Cloud)

If your organization uses Google Cloud networking (VPCs, hybrid networks, etc.), consider these best practices:

  • Choose the right VPC connection method for your needs (Network Connectivity Center, VPC Peering, Cloud VPN, etc.).

  • Use Cloud NAT for fixed outbound IPs and secure internet access for VMs without external IPs.

  • Use private DNS zones for internal service name resolution.

  • For Google API access, use Private Google Access or Private Service Connect to allow secure, internal API communication without public IPs.

  • When managing complex network topologies (multiple VPCs, hybrid cloud), use Network Connectivity Center and assign appropriate IAM roles (like Network Management Admin or Hub Admin) to control who can create, modify, and review network connections and routing.

4. Permissions and Roles

  • Assign Network Management Admin or Network Management Viewer roles as appropriate to control access to network management features and resources.

  • For VPC hub and spoke architectures, use the Hub Admin role to manage connectivity and routing between networks.

How to efficiently manage mobile devices and endpoints in Google Admin Center

To efficiently manage mobile devices and endpoints in the Google Admin Center (Admin Console), follow these structured steps:

1. Access the Admin Console

  • Log in at admin.google.com using an administrator account

2. Navigate to Device Management

  • Go to Devices in the left-hand menu

  • Select Mobile & endpoints to manage both mobile devices and other endpoints (such as laptops and desktops)

3. Choose the Appropriate Management Level

  • Basic Management: Provides core security features like password enforcement and account wipe. No device agent installation is required and is enabled by default.

  • Advanced Management: Offers enhanced controls, including app management, device settings enforcement, remote wipe, and detailed reporting. Requires device policy app installation for Android/iOS and an Apple Push Certificate for iOS devices.

  • Custom Management: Allows you to apply different management levels (unmanaged, basic, advanced) for different device types or organizational units.

To enable or adjust management:

  • Go to Devices > Mobile & endpoints > Settings > Universal.

  • Select your organizational unit if you want to apply settings to a specific group.

  • Choose BasicAdvanced, or Custom management, then click Save.

4. Set Up Device Policies and Security Controls

  • Enforce passcodes, screen locks, and device encryption

  • Set up device approvals to control which devices can access corporate data

  • Configure remote actions such as lock, wipe, or block for lost or non-compliant devices

  • Manage apps (approve, block, or push apps) and configure Wi-Fi, VPN, and network settings remotely.

5. Enroll and Monitor Devices

  • For company-owned devices, enroll them via Google Endpoint Manager for centralized oversight

  • Use the device inventory to monitor all registered devices, check compliance, and audit device activity

  • For ChromeOS devices, use the Chrome > Settings > Device section to configure device and user policies, enforce updates, and manage extensions.

6. Automate and Streamline Management

  • Set up automated policy enforcement and alerts using built-in rules or third-party tools like gPanel for advanced automation and reporting

  • Regularly review and update policies to adapt to organizational changes and evolving security needs.

7. Best Practices

  • Segment users and devices into organizational units for tailored policy application

  • Test new policies with pilot groups before organization-wide rollout to avoid disruptions

  • Train users on device enrollment and compliance requirements.
