topic Is there any way of blocking Gmail App use for 1 or a few users? in Peer-Peer Topics https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27333#M2148 <P>I know this can be done at the OU level but our system automatically places users in their school and grade OUs so if I move a user to a different OU the system just moves them back so I cannot make a sub OU and use that method to an OU with the service turned off. I know some things can be managed by group but when I try this the only option is ON. it doesn't have an off.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="jasoncrcsd_0-1710846150673.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1133i0B59821EEF06B4FD/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="jasoncrcsd_0-1710846150673.png" alt="jasoncrcsd_0-1710846150673.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 19 Mar 2024 11:03:21 GMT jasoncrcsd 2024-03-19T11:03:21Z Is there any way of blocking Gmail App use for 1 or a few users? https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27333#M2148 <P>I know this can be done at the OU level but our system automatically places users in their school and grade OUs so if I move a user to a different OU the system just moves them back so I cannot make a sub OU and use that method to an OU with the service turned off.

One possibility would be to use Context Aware Access, add the CAA rule to a group and the Gmail service and add the user to the group. One option could be to use location-based and set them to only allow access if they are in some random country they aren't in for sure. Or a specific IP Address or anything that prevents them from accessing it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>It's not the nicest solution but it works for now. I am sure there is a better solution to it but this was my first thought process.</P> Tue, 19 Mar 2024 11:26:18 GMT https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27372#M2149 NielsBrockmeier 2024-03-19T11:26:18Z Re: Is there any way of blocking Gmail App use for 1 or a few users? https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27374#M2150 <P>CAA is very powerful, indeed, but requires (AFAIK) Standard/Plus licences.</P> Tue, 19 Mar 2024 11:51:55 GMT https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27374#M2150 Kim_Nilsson 2024-03-19T11:51:55Z Re: Is there any way of blocking Gmail App use for 1 or a few users? https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27375#M2151 <P>You could "flip it".</P><P>Deny access to the OU, and add everyone but those individuals to an Allow/ON group.</P> Tue, 19 Mar 2024 11:53:01 GMT https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27375#M2151 Kim_Nilsson 2024-03-19T11:53:01Z Re: Is there any way of blocking Gmail App use for 1 or a few users? https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27833#M2166 <P>This new hub needs a feature request voting option. I'd plug for a feature to tag individual accounts with policies instead of only OUs.</P> Tue, 19 Mar 2024 16:44:07 GMT https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/27833#M2166 mgonzalezvt 2024-03-19T16:44:07Z Re: Is there any way of blocking Gmail App use for 1 or a few users? https://www.googleforeducommunity.com/t5/Peer-Peer-Topics/Is-there-any-way-of-blocking-Gmail-App-use-for-1-or-a-few-users/m-p/28050#M2173 <P>We created sub-OUs in active directory for 'restricted' modes, and certain kids get automatically moved there.
