Multiple Organizations

[Jeffrey Reid]

Howdy.

I just installed GAM and am gathering some data on an existing Google Workspace that I recently joined.

running "gam print users allfields" I am seeing some accounts have more than one organization and the second one is marked their primary. I can't see this data in Google Admin to validate why that is but we have some SAML attributes that are coming from the invisible organization's fields and new account won't work.

Does anyone know why multiple organizations may exist and how I can see them in Google Admin?

I'm hesitant to force updates on invisible fields using GAM but glad I can pull a report to see why some authentication isn't working.

These are not multiple OUs, just information about the users. It is not well represented in the Admin console.

Thanks, Ross. I see the users all in the same OU. What I don't understand is what the multiple organizations are and why I only see them from GAM.

My data elements below I have two users the function properly but are in two "organizations" and my users in a single organization can't log in VIA SAML.

I don't see organizations in Google Admin so I'm confused on what this data represents.
