Turn on or off additional Google services

This article is for Google Workspace administrators. Need help with your personal account? Go to Google Account Help .

When you sign up for Google Workspace, you get core services, such as Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. You can also optionally turn on additional Google services, such as YouTube, Blogger, Google Analytics, and more. As an administrator, you can control access to these additional services. Some services have an individual On or Off control in the Admin console and others don't. For services that don't have this control, you must turn them on or off all at once.

If an Early Access App becomes an additional service, you can find out if the service is turned on or off by default. See  Turn Early Access Apps on or off for users .

Note:  Customers with the following subscriptions can't use these controls:

  • Google Workspace Essentials with an email-verified account. You must  verify your domain  to unlock these features.
  • A Workspace business edition with an @gmail.com account. You must verify your domain to unlock these features.
