Turn Keep on or off for users

As an administrator, you can control who uses Google Keep in your organization. Users who have Keep turned on can use it to create, manage, and share notes within your organization.

By default, Keep is turned on for all new organizations, and for organizations that use Drive. You can also choose to have new services initially turned on or off
