Recommended Google Apps control panel settings

To meet the accessibility needs of your users, we recommend enabling the following

Gmail, Docs, and ChromeOS options in your Google Apps control panel. Many of these

options are enabled by default.

Note: The Gmail options affect all of the users in your domain (i.e., settings are domain-

wide).

For ChromeOS, you can enable accessibility options for a specific set of users by creating

an organizational unit that contains these users. To create an organizational unit, refer to
