Answer
Assign the Standard Einstein Activity Capture permission set to the individual users.
Einstein Activity Capture (EAC) access is managed using permission sets. Assigning the Standard Einstein Activity Capture permission set (or a permission set containing the EAC user permission) to the targeted users provisions their access to EAC configuration settings and enables automatic email and event sync capabilities.
