As schools adopt AI-driven tools, managing access becomes a critical part of responsible technology leadership. When User Access Settings are left unchecked, all users can access advanced apps like Gemini, regardless of licensing. While this may seem convenient, it can lead to increased costs, compliance issues, and uncontrolled AI use across the domain.

For school technology directors, enabling restrictions ensures that only licensed, approved users can access Gemini’s AI features. This approach not only aligns with licensing agreements but also protects schools from unnecessary expenditures and exposure to unregulated AI interactions. It’s a simple configuration that promotes safe, equitable, and purposeful AI integration in education.

At Get Set Tech, we help schools implement smarter, scalable access controls that make technology safer and more cost-effective. By managing permissions strategically, schools can harness the power of AI responsibly—empowering innovation without compromising governance.
