About user and device policies

You can let some people in your organization use a feature or service in their managed Google account, but not others. For example, if you're a Google Workspace administrator, you might turn on Google Meet only for your support team, or you might let only the sales department share public calendars. You can also tailor settings for different Chrome devices. Just group users or devices that have specific requirements into organizational units. Then apply your desired settings to each of those units.

Turn services on or off for different users

For example, if you're an admin, you can turn on Meet only for your support team by creating an organizational unit containing support users. You can then turn on Meet just for that organization. 

For details, see Turn a service on or off for Google Workspace users.

Change service settings for different users

Most services have individual settings that you can apply to organizational units. For example, if you're an admin, you can allow only the sales team to share calendars publicly by creating an organizational unit for your sales team. Then turn on public sharing just for that organization in your Calendar settings.

For details, see Change service settings for different users

Change settings for different Chrome devices

You can add Chrome devices to organizational units, too. For example, to let teachers use Incognito mode on their Chromebook but not students, create an organizational unit containing the teachers' Chromebooks. Then in your Devices settings, turn on Incognito mode for just that organization.

For details, see Change settings for different Chrome devices.
