Creating a New Google Apps Premier Edition Account

If your organization does not have a Google Apps account, complete the following steps to register a Google Apps Premier Edition account and enable Salesforce and Google Apps:

  • From Setup, enter Premier Setup in the Quick Find box, then select Premier Setup.
  • Complete the fields in Column A:
    Field Description
    Domain Name Enter the domain that you want to register as your organization's Google Apps account. For example, if your company's URL is http://www.acme.com, enter acme.com as your Domain Name.
    User Name This value is used to create the Google Apps administrator for your organization's account. For example, if your Google Apps administrator will be jsmith@acme.com, enter jsmith. After your Google Apps account is created, you can log in with the User Name and Password and change this value if necessary.
    First Name This value is used to create the Google Apps administrator for your organization's account. After your Google Apps account is created, you can log in with the User Name and Password and change this value if necessary.

  • Verify that the Google Apps Domain field contains the domain name you registered with Google.
  • Activate Google Apps services in Salesforce.
  • Create users for your organization's Google Apps account. For more information, see Create Google Apps Accounts.
    Note
    Note The number of Google Apps Premier Edition accounts you can create is limited to the number of licenses your organization purchased with the Salesforce and Google Apps Supported feature.
