How to store a copy of your users' data in a specific geographic location

Problem

How do you store a copy of your user's data in a specific geographic location (Data Region)?

Environment

  • Admin console
  • Data Region

Solution

  1. Sing in to the Admin console.

    • Note: Requires having Super Admin privileges, or ask another super administrator at your domain to do these steps for you.
  3. To apply the data region to everyone, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select an organizational unit or a configuration group.
