# Approve Pear Assessment as a Third-Party App in Google Workspace

> Approve Pear Assessment as a trusted third-party app in Google Workspace so students under 18 can sign in

Google Workspace policy requires that Pear Assessment is trusted as a third-party app for accounts whose users are 18 or younger. Students under 18 cannot sign in to Pear Assessment unless the app is marked as trusted in Workspace. Your Google Workspace administrator can complete this setup using one of the two methods below: approving an existing listing or adding the app manually by Client ID.

For more information about Google's Workspace third-party app policies, see Google's resources:
