Overview
From October 23 2023, Google Workspace for Education admin approval is required for all users under 18 to access third party applications with Google, including Ziplet. This change aims to better protect student data and privacy, which Ziplet fully supports.
To learn more about this change go to the Google support guide.
For teachers
When Ziplet is blocked, your students will see one of the following messages when trying to sign in to Ziplet with Google:
Access Blocked: Your institution's admin needs to review Ziplet
An error has occurred: Access to your account data is restricted by policies within your organization
To resolve this problem, contact your Google Workspace admin with a link to this page, or complete the request in Ziplet asking them to configure access.
