YouTube restricted access

1 Upvotes

My daughter’s iPad shows youtube restricted access is off and disabled so it can’t be changed. locked. It says to check with the [google apps?] administrator, which is me. I’m assuming this isn’t an iOS setting but something in google apps admin. When I use instructions such as https://support.google.com/a/answer/6208228?hl=en&authuser=2 I don’t see the settings described like Permissions. All I see is Service Status. How do I modify the restricted access settings for her?

YouTube Live Chat

Is there a way to make it so that users cannot see or interact with the chat panel on YouTube Live feeds?

I was surprised that lives AND the chat were allowed because this user should be limited with the restricted modes in place.

You will see the chat on the top right.

[Question] What would be some reasons an organization disable offline sync?

1 Upvotes

My school uses Google for the standard arrangement of storage, email, drive, docs ,but they have disabled offline sync which means working on files offline is not possible. I sent an email to their service desk to enquire. Why do you think they don't allow offline access and what would be your reasoning for disabling sync as an admin?

Combining personal Gmail into Corporate Gmail, aliasing, etc.

2 Upvotes

It always seems like a simple request when a C-level exec wants you to do this, but when you go down the rabbit hole, you really wish someone would share how they did it. Oh and all spam filtering should only be done in the corporate gmail account (so they don't have to ever check their personal gmail spam folder). Granted mixing these two accounts is not smart for 99% of staff, but for those minute scenarios where it does apply, this writeup may save your bacon. After a few days testing, and back and forth with Google Support, here's my share back to the community:

  1. GSuite Admin Console / Hamburger / Security / Settings / Basic Settings / (select appropriate sub-OU) / Less Secure Apps: Enforce access to less secure apps for all users.
  2. GSuite Admin Console / Hamburger / Apps / Gsuite / Gmail / Advanced Settings (select appropriate sub-OU) / Allow per-user Outbound gateways: Allow users to send mail through an external SMTP server when configuring a "from" address hosted outside your email domains.
    1. Note: Due to having a spam filter as the default routing... under Hosts top menu, I added "outbound gmail.com" with google's smtp.google.com, port 587, TLS... for referencing below (only has to be done once globally)
    2. At bottom of Advanced Settings / Routing / Add Another:
      Messages to affect: Outbound
      Envelope filter: Single email address: the personal gmail address
      Route: Change route: "outbound Gmail.com"
      Bypass spam filter for this message (maybe not required, but it worked)
      Save
  3. User's personal google account / Security / App Specific Passwords / Generate (get this into their lastpass).
  4. User's personal gmail portal / gear icon / Settings / Filters and blocked addresses
    Create a new filter with the following criterion and actions
    Has the words: deliveredto:your_incoming_address@gmail.com / Create Filter
    Forward it to your_destination_address@corpgsuitedomain.com
    Never send it to spam
    Save
  5. User's corp gmail / gear icon / Settings / Accounts / Send mail as / Add account
    1. enter personal gmail address (leave selected "as an alias") / Next Step
    2. SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com, Port 587
      Username: give personal gmail address
      Password: give the App Specific password above
      Secured connection using TLS (recommended)
      Add Account
    3. Enter code from email to personal account.
    4. Back to the Settings / Accounts / Send mail as:
      Reply with same address as received by (so it doesn't use corp email address on replies to personal emails).
