Apply settings to different users
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
When changing settings in your Google Admin console, you often have the option
to apply settings only to users in specific organizational units or
configuration groups. To do this, you must first create these entities and
add users to them. Understand the options below. Then, follow the links to get
started.
Use organizational units (for standard policies)
Most common: Apply standard settings to a department or other team by
placing user accounts in an organizational unit.
Advanced: After you apply settings to organizational units, you might want
to use configuration groups to make exceptions for some users. This approach
lets you customize settings for specific users without changing your
organizational structure.
