Google Assistant is not available for managed Chromebooks.
As an administrator, you can control who uses Google Search and Assistant services with their Google Account. Just turn the service on or off in your Admin console. Users who have it on can use their account to see personal results and access additional features. Users whose service is off can still use some Search features, including Lens and AI Overviews, though without using information from their account or saving information to it, similar to the experience for a user signed out of their account.
When the service is set to Off, users continue to have access to services that are not controlled individually, like news.google.com and finance.google.com
Note: Search and Assistant must be turned on in the Admin console for users to access Google Scholar features that require the user to sign in, such as creating a Google Scholar profile or library.

Admins must get parental consent for users under the age of 18 to link their Google Workspace for Education accounts to a Google Assistant-enabled device to enable Voice Match and Face Match. However, Voice Match and Face Match are only enabled on a user’s device if they choose to enable the feature.
Voice Match creates a unique model of a users’ voice that Assistant uses to identify a user on any device where Voice Match is enabled. Face Match creates a unique model of a users’ face that Assistant uses to recognize a user on smart devices with a camera enabled.
Google Assistant uses Voice Match and Face Match to tell an enrolled user apart from other users. Depending on user settings, Assistant can use Voice and Face Match to personalize user experiences and results.
