Users in an organization must be assigned licenses to use Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise, with options for automatic or manual assignment. License management requires specific IAM roles and can be performed through the Google Cloud console or API. Administrators can also track license usage and adjust the number of licenses as needed.

• Automatic license assignment is the default, letting users get licensed simply by accessing Gemini Code Assist in a supported IDE
• Managing licenses requires specific IAM roles like Billing Account Administrator or Consumer Procurement Order Administrator
• Admins can switch to manual assignment for granular control, including assigning/removing licenses per user
• Inactivity periods can be configured to automatically unassign unused licenses for reallocation
