Solution
- Log in to the Admin console.
- Go to Menu > Directory > Users.
- If necessary, click ">" at the upper left of the Users list to see the organizational tree.
- Click the organization the users are in now. Users who haven't been moved are in the top-level organization.
Tip: If you're not sure which organization a user belongs to, go to the user's profile page, instead.

- To move a single user, find the user in the Users list. Then check the box for the user.
- To move multiple users, check the box for each user you want to move in the Users list.

- At the top, click More > Change organizational unit.
- Choose the new organization from the dialog box, and then click Continue.
- In the confirmation message, review the information about moving the users to a different organization.
- Click Change.
