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: Administrators for Google Workspace Essentials (email-verified) customers do not have access to these controls. To control Additional Google services, first verify your domain. For details, see Verify your domain to unlock features (for email-verified accounts).
