G Suite and Sub Domain

[Sheridan]

I'm looking into adding a subdomain to our G Suite domain to let governors have a email address (and G Suite apps/sharing) that is distinct from the main school accounts.

 

We currently have a domain (i.e @school.org.uk) and would like to add @Governors.school.org.uk

 

This seems possible according to google's documentation but has anyone done this and had any issues? One issue I'm not clear about is some of our staff are governors, so already have the main domain account, I'm assuming sharing etc would be allowed by default as its a subdomain?

 

Presumably dns/mx records are pointed to the main school domain to enable this?

ours it setup like this

 

trustdomain.com

Academy1domain.com

Academy2domain.com

Academy3domain.com

Academy3domain.com

 

 

You need the DNS and MX etc on each domain (if your using gmail). Everyone can share with everyone else in the different domains. It all behaves as if they are using 1 domain.

Thats slightly different to what we're doing - it looks like you have 5 seperate domains? One for the trust and 4 seperate ones for the academies? Or have I misread that and the academies are subdomains of the trust?

It is how we have it, it is slightly different. But the same would apply, just a variation of the same thing.
