A Guide to Google Workspace Administrator Restrictions
June 24, 2025 - To maintain security and prevent misuse of administrator privileges, it's essential to implement restrictions for Workspace admins. These restrictions ensure that admins can only access the functions needed for their roles. Organizational units (OUs) are hierarchical structures that help manage and organize users, groups, and devices within your Google Workspace account.
People also ask

How do I turn off Google Workspace restrictions?
Unfortunately, end users cannot turn off restrictions set by Google Workspace administrators. Only Workspace admins can configure restrictions for users in their domain through the Admin Console. If you wish to have certain sites or services unblocked, you will need to submit a request to your domain administrator.

r/k12sysadmin on Reddit: Problems with Youtube
February 2, 2023 -

So here's my problem: Within the last few weeks, Youtube has been randomly blocking videos with the message: "Video unavailable This video is restricted. Please check the Google Workspace administrator and/or the network administrator restrictions". Now this is different from the content filter that we can subvert by going into incognito. No matter what browser, computer, user, etc we use, it will always get blocked for both students and staff. Except for mine and a few other admins computers. The content of these videos is insanely varied. Spanish music videos, SOS training videos, kindergarten sing a longs, even students videos that just were uploaded to their personal page. NO OTHER PAGES ARE BLOCKED TOO. None. It's literally just YouTube and YouTube alone

Now we made sure that each OU we use on Google Workspace has age restrictions set for all, made sure that restricted mode is turned off for each, the firewall is not blocking it, our WiFi (Aruba central) doesn't have anything on it, there are no restrictions from JAMF, we don't have anything blocked through DNS (we even changed it to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2), our AD is putting the users in the right places, packet capture shows nothing, RTMP is golden. Other than having bits of skin on my keyboard from bashing my face into it, everything seems right.

I talked to Workspace support and they basically sent me the email attached after them "looking into my problem" for a week.

I'm at a loss of what to do, and it seems to be getting worse and spreading across district.

Use Google Workspace to Restrict Access to Apps Outside of Venn’s Blue Border
Do not assign the access levels to key admin tools like the Google Admin console and Apple Business Manager in order to avoid locking out administrators. If Google Workspace is your Venn IdP, do not assign the access levels to the custom Venn app that you created in the Admin console in order to avoid blocking users from being able to log in to Venn’s Workplace app. If you are not using Venn’s MDM solution, you should only apply this restriction to devices that users will be using Venn on (Windows and/or Mac), not iOS or Android devices.
