New design
The Users and Groups management function is in the process of being redesigned. The new design is being released to a select number of customers and additional changes are bing made over a period of time. Those customers have the ability to toggle between the new design and the classic design. Product documentation that refers only to the new design will be enclosed in a box like this.

To edit a managed user:
- In the Admin Console, click Users and Groups.
- Select the Managed Users tab.
- Click the user name.
- Make any desired changes. See the Managed Users Tab section of Users & Groups Settings for details.
- Click Save.
