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

> Add Pear Deck as a trusted third-party app in Google Workspace so students under 18 can sign in to Pear Deck sessions.

In Google Workspace, your administrator must approve Pear Deck as a trusted third-party app to allow students under 18 to sign in. [Workspace policy](https://support.google.com/a/answer/13288950?hl=en) requires this approval for accounts whose users are 18 or younger. Students cannot sign in to Pear Deck sessions if the app is not trusted in Workspace.
