In the Admin console, go to Menu
Apps
Google Workspace

If the status is ON for some:

- Record which groups and organizational units have the service status of ON.
- Click Close
.
- Click Google Vault
- Select OFF for everyone.
Note: This setting controls only who can access Vault. Changing the status to OFF has no effect on holds or retention. Data is preserved as long as users have licenses that support Vault.
