What is the user portal?
The gPanel user portal is an area that all users have access to to manage their profile. They are able to change important information such as employee information, addresses, phone numbers, and emails. From this home screen the user also has the option to view their groups, their contacts, and also do a directory search for another domain user. Any changes made in the gPanel user portal will sync and be reflected across all Google Workspace apps.
