Google Workspce - Allow access to other domains?

[Koldov]

A few years ago during Covid I set-up a Google Workspace (GSuite) tenant for our school to enable distance learning.

 

With my limited knowledge I locked down everything I could possibly find.

 

After lockdown it didn't get used and I pretty much forgot all about it, now for reasons I don't have time to go into here I need to allow the children to access a link to a 'Google Form' which I believe is hosted in another Domain.

 

However the children can't access it and I believe I would have purposefully made it so they couldn't, now I need to undo that but I'm struggling to find the settings I would have used back then....

 

I have pushed this back to the 'consultant' the school has hired to deliver the computing curriculum who has insisted on everything Google, but they haven't fixed it and the first lesson to use this Google Form is a t 11:45....

 

Help!

My bet is this is a sharing setting on the form itself. Can you access the form while signed in to your school Google account? While signed in to a personal Google account? While not signed in to Google at all?

Could you have blocked them from using the Forms App at all?

add the other domain to trusted domains: https://apps.google.com/supportwidget/articlehome?hl=en&article_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.google.com%2Fa%2Fanswer%2F6160020%3Fhl%3Den&assistant_id=generic-unu&product_context=6160020&product_name=UnuFlow&trigger_context=a

Thanks all, seems it wasn't that... unfortunately the message I got was garbled and rushed due to time pressure. Doesn't help the teacher isn't very I.T. literate and it got passed through to me via a few other people!

 

They were trying to access a Google Form, but it turns out it was sent as a Hyperlink in a Word document (why?) and it was Word/Office that is giving them the following error:

 

Your organization’s policies are preventing us from completing this action for you.

 

 

I don't remember setting a GPO for Word/Office 2016 to prevent them opening Hyperlinks, so if anyone knows what's happening there please let me know (or I'll just start another thread).

 

Thing is I do have a hazy memory of doing something in the Google settings that actually limits any kind of data sharing with any other domain, I can't for the life of me remember where it is though!
