# Access Google AI Studio with your Workspace account

All [Google Workspace](https://workspace.google.com) users have access to AI
Studio by default. AI Studio is also the primary place where users can manage
billing for the Gemini API. If you're a Workspace user and you want to get
started with AI Studio, check out the
[AI Studio quickstart](/docs/ai-studio-quickstart).

## Troubleshooting  {% id="troubleshooting" %}

If access to AI Studio is disabled for your Google Workspace account, you might
see an error like the following:

`We are sorry, but you do not have access to Google AI Studio. Please contact
your Organization Administrator for access.`

If you think you should have access to AI Studio, contact your Workspace
administrator.

## Enable AI Studio for Workspace users  {% id="enable-ai-studio" %}

Important: This section is intended for Google Workspace administrators.

As a Google Workspace administrator, you can control who uses AI Studio:

*   AI Studio is turned on by default for all editions.

*   You can turn AI Studio off or on for sets of users across or within
  organizational units.

*   Google Workspace for Education editions: Users under the age of 18 are
  restricted from using AI Studio with their Google Workspace for
  Education accounts. This is true even when the AI Studio setting is
  on. For details, go to [Control access to Google services by
  age](https://support.google.com/a/answer/10651918).


{% callout type="note" %}
  If you turn off AI Studio, users can't manage billing for the Gemini API.

{% /callout %}

To enable or disable AI Studio for users in your organization, see
[Turn Google AI Studio on or off for users](https://support.google.com/a/answer/15004095).

## Turn on AI Studio only for users who manage Gemini API billing  {% id="billing-group" %}

If you don't want to turn on AI Studio for everyone, you can turn it on for
just the group of users who manage billing for the Gemini API.

1.  [Create a group](https://support.google.com/a/answer/167160) at
  [admin.google.com/ac/groups](https://admin.google.com/ac/groups) and add
  the users who manage Gemini API billing.
2.  Turn on the **Security** label for the group. For details, go to
  [Control access to sensitive data with security groups](https://support.google.com/a/answer/9468710).
3.  In the Admin console, go to
  [Additional Google services](https://admin.google.com/ac/appslist/additional)
  and click **AI Studio** and then **Service status**.
4.  On the left, under **Groups**, search for and select the group you created.
5.  Check the **ON** box.
6.  Click **Save**.
