Customize service settings using configuration groups

Depending on your edition of Google Workspace, configuration groups might not be available for some services or settings.

After applying general policies to organizational units that contain your departments or teams, you can make exceptions for users within those teams, without changing your organizational structure. You do this with configuration groups

Example: You’re currently restricting YouTube video approvals for all organizational units. But some people within various departments need to approve videos. To override those people’s organizational unit settings for this one policy, place them in a configuration group and give that group approval rights in YouTube.

How configuration groups work

Typically, you apply service settings to departments or teams by using organizational units. You can then make exceptions for some users by using configuration groups. For example, you can restrict YouTube content for everyone in your organization, but override that setting for users who do need to view or approve videos.

  • A configuration group can include users or groups from any organizational unit.
  • A user’s group settings always override their organizational unit's settings.
  • A user can belong to multiple configuration groups (unlike organizational units).
  • You set the priority of configuration groups. A user then gets the setting of the highest priority group they belong to.
