Google Workspace Organizations

Each user must have a valid license and the organizational unit (OU) or one of its parents to which the user belongs must have policies set for the extension to initialize. If any of these conditions are not met, the extension will not function. To set up an OU, you must do the following:

  • Assign in school and out of school policies

  • Assign licenses

Note

If an OU is not configured, it inherits its policy from the first configured parent OU.

Note

Each OU running the Blocksi extension must be either configured itself or have at least one configured parent OU, or the extension will not initialize.

To set up an OU

  1. Click Organizations and Entities from the Main Menu and then click Google Workspace Organizations from its sub-menu. The Organizational Units screen appears.

  2. Locate the OU to set up. You may have to click the Expand Tree Icon icon to the left of the OU name to expand the tree.

  3. Click the Org Unit Edit Icon icon to the right of the OU name to open the edit window, as shown below.
