Turn Google AI Studio on or off for users

Let your users try out models and experiment with generative AI prompts

As an admin, you manage how people in your organization access Google AI Studio with their Google Workspace account. AI Studio is a browser-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for prototyping with generative models. You can quickly try out models and experiment with different prompts.

AI Studio is also the only place where users can manage billing for the Gemini API.

You can turn on AI Studio as an additional service for everyone in your organization, specific organizational units, or specific groups. You must verify your domain before you can turn on AI Studio as an additional service.

Turn AI Studio on or off

Before you begin: If you turn off AI Studio, users can't set up or manage billing for the Gemini API. To let only specific people use AI Studio or manage billing, put their accounts in an organizational unit or add them to an access group. Use an organizational unit to control access by department, or use an access group to give access to users across or within departments.

In the Google Admin console, Go to Menu Apps Additional Google services AI Studio.
