Is GAT+ failing to run? Check these options in your Admin Console #
How to make sure GAT+ is running correctly and showing correct information from your domain?
Navigate to the Google Admin console
Click the Google Apps menu button on the top right corner of your Chrome session and click on the Admin button
In the Google Admin console navigate to Apps > Google Workspace Marketplace apps > Apps list
Click on the GAT+ app
You will need to click and grant access to GAT+
- Distribution – it has to be Enabled for all organizational units and groups
- Data Access – status Granted
- Grant access – click to grant access to GAT+
IMPORTANT NOTE: As Google has deprecated their ‘Google Sites’ product, GAT cannot be granted access to that. You may see that the status is only ‘Partially Granted’ during this step. However, once you have clicked the ‘Grant access’ button you can consider this step finished.
Access by Super Admin Only #
By default, the tool can be accessed ONLY by the domain’s super admins. Non-admin accounts cannot log in.

FAQ #
Q1: Why does my GAT+ Data Access status show as “Partially Granted” even after I clicked “Grant Access”?
A: This is usually because Google has deprecated the “Google Sites” product. Because GAT+ can no longer be granted access to that specific service, the status may not show as fully granted. As long as you have clicked the “Grant Access” button, you can consider this step finished and the app functional.
Q2: What should I check in the Admin Console if my “Teacher Assist” YouTube controls are not working?
A: You must ensure that the YouTube service is enabled for your domain. Navigate to Apps > Additional Google Services > YouTube in your Google Admin console and verify that the service is turned ON for everyone (or the specific organizational units requiring the feature).
