Hi all,

This question is not specific to google workspace but that is what we use. We have a number of email addresses set up that indeviduals access such as chairman@foo.co.uk & secretary@foo.co.uk

Once set up that person has set up a password or changed how they log in using one of the various styles.

My question is how should this info be saved, stored & maintained to cover the case of being run over by a big red bus or more likely the person just getting pissed off & moving on ?

As an admin user myself I can step in & change access for myself or others but I still need to cover the big red bus getting me !

your thoughts o wise ones please. The simplest option & perhaps obvious is just an envelope held by say the chairman & vice

The envelope option might be mildly challenging with any MFA requirements you may or may not have.

Mitigate the bus factor by having >1 super administrators?

I do this for a charity and I just have me and another user as a super admin. We can change passwords and log in as other should we need to in an emergency.

Writing stuff down and putting it in an envelope seems unnecessary.
