I am wondering how many G+ accounts were fake. Take a look at the G Suite Administrators community. That’s a community that was a helpful place for those of us who are admins to ask questions of each other. Aside from the fact that it is now basically dead, most of the members appear as “no name”. Does this really mean that most of the members were not only not G Suite admins, but we’re not even g Suite accounts? Or does the “no name” mean something else (such as a new default privacy for G+ accounts on G Suite domains)?
Some of the prolific smut spammers were taking advantage of the 14 day trial period for GSuite accounts that they had no intention of ever buying. So their accounts will disappear.
Also, it's possible that more Domain Admins are looking into the G+ settings for their domains, now that things are changing, and locking down access outside their domains with a view to using G+ purely for internal communication.
I also think joining communities created by different organisations or (domains) will be allowed as administrators of G Suite can add as many domains as they want.
Stephen Adu Agyei I think inter-domain and inter-organizational-unit will clearly continue to be supported, as those are both infra-organization. The question remaining is whether inter-organization collaboration will remain or if they are going to limit it to just intra-organization.
(G Suite Organizations can have one or more organizational units. Organizational units can have one or more domains.)

Brian Holt Hawthorne I certainly have not noticed any new default privacy settings.
ReplyDeleteHow come I never found the GSuite Admin community Brian Holt Hawthorne? 😱
ReplyDeleteI don't think it can be privacy settings Brian Holt Hawthorne
ReplyDeleteBut I wouldn't be surprised at lots of people joining random communities just because they could.
And I don't notice any new settings in the GSuite console (although I'll admit I don't go to it all that often)

ReplyDeleteJulie Wills Not sure. There seems to be almost nobody left there now: accounts.google.com - Sign in - Google Accounts
