Google Apps for Work users can now install software without the need of an administrator

If your employer uses Google Apps, you can now install new software from Mountain View’s business-centric catalog without the need of an administrator. To start digging around for new third-party apps to use, click More,” and select “More from Apps Marketplace.” While employees will have access to a stockpile of new applications by default, admins can fine-tune settings to display which apps are available to their staff.

However, companies operating from a K-12 EDU domain will still need to request access to third-party applications, which are disabled off by default. Available since spring of 2010, the Google Apps Marketplace is a hub that offers cloud-based apps that work with Mountain View’s in-house suite, like: Gmail, Docs, Calendar and Contacts.
