Move users to an organizational unit

Each user in your Google Admin console belongs to an organizational unit that determines which features and services the user can access. By default, all users belong to your account's top-level organization. But you can move a user to a child organizational unit you create. The user can then access the features and services available to that child.

To turn on a service for a set of users across or within organizational units, select an access group. For details, go to Use groups to customize service access.
