If you do, here's more
Gemini Code Assist requires each user in your organization to have a license before usage. By default, automatic license assignment is enabled, allowing users with the necessary permissions to be assigned licenses automatically upon accessing Gemini Code Assist in supported IDEs. Organizations can opt for manual license assignment as needed, especially after configuring Gemini for Google Cloud products. To manage licenses effectively, users must have specific IAM roles, such as Billing Account Administrator or Consumer Procurement Order Administrator, and ensure that the necessary API settings and headers are in place if they choose to manage licenses via the API.
To modify the number of licenses in a subscription, users must have appropriate IAM permissions and can make changes through the Google Cloud console or via an authorized representative. The console interface allows users to view details about license assignments, including user names, emails, and usage statistics. Additionally, license assignments can be viewed using API calls, providing a programmatic approach to managing users' licenses. Automatic license assignment can also be enabled, ensuring that users are assigned licenses without manual intervention, although this limits the ability to adjust individual user licenses.
For organizations preferring manual control, licenses can be assigned or removed on an individual basis. This method allows administrators to tailor license distribution according to specific user requirements. Moreover, administrators can set inactivity periods for automatic unassignment of licenses, ensuring that unused licenses are efficiently reallocated. Overall, the article provides a comprehensive guide on managing Gemini Code Assist licenses, detailing the permissions required, the processes for modification and assignment, and the options available for both automatic and manual management.
