<desc>Some online accounts can be used to access multiple services (like
calendar and email). You can control which of these services can be used by
applications.</desc>

<title>Control which online services an account can be used to access</title>
<p>Some types of online account providers allow you to access several services
with the same user account. For example, Google accounts provide access to
calendar, email, and contacts. You may want to use your account for some
services, but not others. For example, you may want to use your Google account
for email but not calendar if you have a different online account that you use
for calendar.</p>
<p>You can disable some of the services that are provided by each online
account:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Online Accounts</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Online Accounts</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the account which you want to change from the list on the
right.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>A list of services that are available with this account will be
shown under <gui>Use for</gui>. See <link xref="accounts-which-application"/>
to see which applications access which services.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Switch off any of the services that you do not want to use.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>Once a service has been disabled for an account, applications on your
computer will not be able to use the account to connect to that service any
more.</p>
<p>To turn on a service that you disabled, just go back to the <gui>Online
Accounts</gui> panel and switch it on.</p>
