If you're an administrator of Google accounts for an organization, you can control who uses Scholar Profiles from their account. You can turn on the Scholar Profiles service for everyone in your organization, specific organizational units, or specific groups.
Users signed in with their Google Workspace account with both Scholar Profiles and Search and Assistant turned on can use all features in Scholar Profiles. Users signed in with their Google Workspace account where Scholar Profiles is turned off can still use the service, but only in limited capacity similar to a user signed out of their account. For example, if the Scholar Profiles service is set to Off, users can still access profiles created by other researchers but cannot create or update their own profile.
