Is this error message saying that the admins of domains should be able to turn on Google Profiles? But in fact they can't as it doesn't exist? Have I got that right?
No matter how many boxes of chocolates an admin receives, he/she will not be able to activate Google Profiles for his users... it just isn't possible.
It's been a known problem for quite some time, but now made much more noticeable via the introduction of Google+.
Not providing new features to the few paying customers Google has is a head-scratcher, but it's something most Google Apps admins have probably gotten pretty used to by now. Blaming these paying customers in front of their userbase takes this practice to a whole new level, chocolates or not.
Yes, the exact error message I get is this: "It looks like your domain administrator has disabled access to Google Profiles for your organization. If you think this is a mistake, you can get in touch with your admin. (And if you need help convincing them, try giving them a box of chocolates.)".
And to be honest, when I got to that link, I actually thought I may be able to activate it. But then I realized that the error message itself is the subject of this submission.
