1 New update
Unless otherwise indicated, the features below are available to all Google Workspace customers, and are fully launched or in the process of rolling out. Rollouts should take no more than 15 business days to complete if launching to both Rapid and Scheduled Release at the same time. If not, each stage of rollout should take no more than 15 business days to complete.
Simplified troubleshooting of user issues in the Admin console
When viewing a user’s detail page in the Admin console, you’ll notice new “Investigate”, “Security”, and “Groups” tabs. Within these tabs, you can find all user-related information from security alerts to audit logs, group memberships, and security policies applied to the user. You can click out to the relevant sections of the Admin console where you can find more information on the event and take action if needed. Centralizing this information should reduce the time and effort required by admins to assess and take action on user issues. | This is available now to Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Essentials Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Fundamentals, Education Standard, Education Plus, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade and Frontline customers. | Learn more about investigating user problems with log events.
Previous announcements
The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog earlier this week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.
Assign the audit and investigation privilege on a per-application basis
When delegating admin privileges for the Audit and Investigation Tool, you can now restrict access levels to audit data on a per application basis (eg: Admin, Drive logs etc.). This change ensures that access isn’t too broadly provisioned and delegated admins only have access to the apps relevant to their scope. | Learn more about assigning privileges.
