Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 17

A team of temporary employees left your organization after completing a shared project. Per company policy, you need to disable their Google Workspace accounts while preserving all project data and related communications in Google Vault for a minimum of two years. You want to comply with this policy while minimizing cost. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Purchase and assign Archived User licenses to the former employees.
• B. Transfer the former employees’ files and data to active user accounts. Delete the former employees’ Workspace accounts.
• C. Purchase additional user licenses and suspend the former employees’ accounts.
• D. Move the former employees to their own organizational unit (OU) and disable access to Google services for that OU.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because purchasing and assigning Archived User licenses allows you to retain the necessary data in Google Vault while complying with company policy at a lower cost. Options B and C involve deleting accounts or purchasing additional licenses, which would not preserve the data as required. Option D does not adequately meet the requirement of preserving data in Google Vault for the mandated period.
