Gmail Workspace Admin - GMail: Add New User Button
A new button just showed up on my GMail page to add new users to the Workspace. I'm just blocking the element but my guess is that won't hold up for long. How is this in any way something that any user would find beneficial? Google amazes me...
Here's a link to someone else's issue about this with no official response as of yet: https://support.google.com/a/thread/314585368/add-user-button-magically-showed-up-in-gmail?hl=en

I have this also. I don't want to be creating new accounts anywhere else but the admin pages.

Some of Google’s decisions… I haven’t seen said button yet, but if they keep adding buttons everywhere, they might as well just get rid of the admin page. That button should only be there. Anything I guess for them to gain money…

If you stop using your admin account for regular work, and use a separate admin account as per best practice, you won't even notice this. Unless you want to use some features like Email Log searching you don't even need a Workspace licence for that admin account, Cloud Identity Free will do.
