Hi Jeff, I had just linked the TOS since it depends in what manner you mean "whitelabel" to perhaps activate clauses related to reselling, although I'm not a lawyer, so don't take anything as binding, and just based on a layman's reading of the terms, it seems the "whitelabel" is being pasted-over your own service that you'll build, so it should be okay (although once again, I'm not a lawyer).
As far as seeing all domains without needing to use a single account, adding the other admins as Owners of the domain using webmaster tools <https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home> is probably the best way to go, although for the minimum friction I suppose you could create an account with a shared secret password, making it an Owner on your project, and simply use that to add and view domains. This issue is already known, as you confirm, so it's probably not necessary to make a public issue tracker thread. Finally, I linked the Google+ Domains API just out of potential interest, not sure if it will meet any need for you :) On Friday, July 10, 2015 at 12:57:45 AM UTC-4, Jeff Schnitzer wrote: > > Now you have me even more confused ;-) > > Is there anything in the TOS that I should pay particular attention to?
