If you're an administrator of Google accounts for an organization, you can control who uses Applied Digital Skills from their account. You can turn on the Applied Digital Skills service for everyone in your organization, specific organizational units, or specific groups.
Users signed in with their Google Workspace account with the service turned on can use all the services offered by Applied Digital Skills. Users signed in with their Google Workspace account where the service has been turned off can still use the service, but only in limited capacity similar to a user signed out of their account. For example, if the Applied Digital Skills is set to Off, the user can still access publicly available course content, but will not be able to track course completion or manage classes.
