Manage user access to Gemini (gemini.google.com)

How your users access Gemini depends on whether you have the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on:

• With the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on: When you buy the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on, Gemini is turned on by default as a core service. To let users access Gemini as a core service with their Google Workspace account, assign them a Gemini for Google Workspace license.

The Gemini service setting has an option to also let unlicensed users access Gemini as an additional Google service. For detailed steps, go to Turn Gemini on or off as a core service.

• Without the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on: If you don’t have the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on, you can turn on Gemini as an additional Google service in your Google Admin console. Your users don’t need a license to access Gemini as an additional service. Note: you must verify your domain before you can use Gemini as an additional service. For detailed steps, go to Turn Gemini on or off as an additional service.
