[Action Required] - Re-confirm access to Google Additional Services for users under 18‬

You should all have received a Google Operations alert in Alert Center, which reads as follows.

Dear Edu Administrator,

Educational institutions are now required to annually review and re-confirm access to Google Additional Services for users under 18. Starting today and rolling out over the next couple of weeks, you will be prompted in Admin Console to review additional Google services that are turned on in your institutions and re-confirm access to these services for users under 18.

As a reminder, the Google Workspace for Education Terms require that institutions obtain parental consent before users under 18 can access any Additional Google Service.

What this means for your institution

You will have until March 2025 to complete this re-confirmation for additional Google services for users under 18. After March 2025, for any additional Google service that you have not re-confirmed access, users designated as under 18 can no longer use that service with their Google Workspace for Education account. Admins can re-confirm access to Additional Services after the deadline to restore access to any users designated as under 18.

What you need to do

To review and re-confirm access to Google Additional Services

In the Admin console, go to Menu > Apps > Additional Google services.
- Note: Admins will also see an in product notification on the Admin Console Homepage and can select “Review Consent” to also get started
Review the Additional services that require confirmation. At the top of the table of services, there is a notification of how many services you will be required to re-confirm access.
Confirm consent for an additional service by selecting Confirm consent under Actions.

Note: Admins can review and re-confirm consent at the organizational and group level, if service ‘on’ status was not inherited.

As is written, this will become a yearly activity, or the additional services will be automatically disabled for OUs designated as Under-18.

Do note that this doesn't affect Workspace accounts which have no OUs set as Under-18.

I am not seeing any of this yet in my admin panel? Should I be?
