How to sign a user out of a managed Google Account?

Sign a user out of a managed Google Account

As an administrator, you can sign a user out of a managed Google Account, such as Google Workspace or Cloud Identity. You might want to sign them out if you don't recognize a device that’s listed in your Google Admin console, you’re suspending or removing a user, a device is lost or stolen, or you’re resetting a user's password.

Sign a user out of mobile devices & browsers

You can reset a user's sign-in cookies to sign them out of mobile devices and browsers. Suspending a user automatically resets their sign-in cookies. Resetting a user's sign-in cookies does not sign them out of apps, such as Gmail and Google Drive for desktop.

To reset a user's sign-in cookies:

  • In the Admin console, go to Menu > Directory > Users.
  • In the Users list, find the user. 
  • Click the user's name to open the user's account page.
  • Click Security




  • Click Sign-in cookies.





  • Click Reset
