Turn Tables on or off for users

Tables is an experimental app developed by Google. As an administrator, you can control who can use Tables to easily track and automate work, with no coding required.

Tables is turned on by default for all Google Workspace editions and Cloud Identity with a few exceptions: Tables is not available for Google Workspace for Education editions in K-12 institutions or users designated as under the age of 18. For more information on services for users designated as under 18, go to Control access to Google services by age.

You can manage Tables access for all users or for specific organizational units.

Manage experimental apps access to core services data

You can let Tables access data in your Google Workspace core services (such as Gmail and Google Drive) as needed to meet your organization’s requirements. By default, Tables has the minimum access to Google Workspace data required to function, so some Tables features may not be available unless you allow access.

To apply the setting to everyone, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit or a configuration group.

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. Click Tables Core Data Access Permissions.
3. To apply the setting to everyone, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit or a configuration group.
4. Click Allow users at your organization to access Google Workspace data and services using Tables.
5. Click Save.
