Google Apps 现在允许管理员设置每个用户可用的服务了，目前这个功能已经免费提供给专业版和教育版的 Google Apps 客户使用，未付费的标准版客户则无缘享受。
你必须要使用英文版的下一代控制面板才能启用这项新功能（就是设置成 “Next generation (US English only)”）。此外，管理员控制面板的菜单发生微调，原先的用户与组管理菜单 ‘Users and groups’ 现在变成组织与用户 ‘Organization & users’。
有了用户政策管理器，企业就可以一步一步的将办公环境迁移到 Google Apps。比如你只准备好了用 Google Docs 和 Google Sites 协同办公，而还没准备好将邮件系统一起迁移过来，那么就可以先只打开 Google Docs 和 Google Sites ，而关闭Gmail。
管理员也可以用 Google Apps Directory Sync 来将现在的LDAP组织架构映射过来直接使用，或者是用 Google Apps Provisioning API 通过编程来批量设置用户可用的服务，省得一个一个设置。

User policy management now in Google Apps Control Panel
Posted: 20 Jul 2010 10:55 AM PDT
Google Apps administrators can now segment their users into different organizations and control which Google services are enabled/disabled for each of those different sets of users.
- Allows creation of organizations in a tree-like hierarchy
- Manage membership of users into one organization
- Specify policies for which services are on/off by organization
Updates have also been made to the Google Apps Directory Sync Tool and the Provisioning API to take this new functionality into account.
Editions included:
Premier and Education Editions
Languages included:
US English only
How to access what’s new:
The Control Panel tab ‘Users and groups’ now becomes ‘Organization & users’. Click on this new tab to create a new organization.
To create organizational units:
1. In the organizational tree, highlight the organizational unit to which you want to add a child.
2. Click the ‘Add suborganization’ button..
3. Enter a name and description for the new organization.
4. Click the ‘Add organization’ button.
5. The new organizational unit appears as a child of the organizational unit you selected at step 1.
To enable/disable services for specific users:
1. Services that are disabled on the main dashboard will be disabled for all users.
2. Click the ‘Organizations & users’ tab.
3. Select the appropriate organization.
4. Click the ‘Services’ sub-tab.
5. Click ‘On/Off’ to change service settings or if it’s a sub-organization, click ‘Override this setting‘ or ‘Use inherited‘ links to change settings.
- This feature is only available to domains using the ‘Next Generation’ version of the control panel. To enable this version in the control panel, click ‘Domain settings’, then ‘General’ and ensure the checkbox ‘Next generation (US English only)’ is enabled.
- This feature is being rolled out gradually.
- A user can exist in only a single node in the hierarchy tree.
