Turning Google Apps services on and off for specific users or groups of users is a request we’ve seen quite a bit recently, especially with the introduction of Google+ into Google Apps. For a complete guide on enabling Google+ for your Google Apps domain, check out our related video here –Â https://www.bettercloud.com/monitor/the-academy/how-to-enable-google-in-google-apps/.
Turning services on and off by Organizational Units is very simple:
- From the Control Panel, click “Organizations and Users”
- For your entire organization, and for each organizational unit, you’ll see two tabs, “Users” and “Services”
- To turn Services on and off for your entire domain, make sure you have selected the parent group of the entire organization tree
- To turn Services on and off for any of your organizational units, select that unit in the org tree, and then go to the Services tab
- You can select “Override this setting” to choose a setting different from the parent unit. By default the settings will be inherited from the parent unit
- If you want to revert back to the old settings, simply click “Inherit this setting” again
