Enhanced third-party app access controls for users designated as under 18 in Google Workspace for Education.
Google Workspace for Education admins now have enhanced controls to manage how third-party apps access organizational data for users designated as under 18. Users under 18 are required to request access to apps that are not already configured as trusted, limited, or blocked, although admins can allow users to skip this request for apps that only require basic profile information. Admins can now configure these settings by organizational units and must review and confirm existing third-party app settings by October 23, 2023, to ensure uninterrupted access for users under 18.
