[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Every month Google rolls out new updates to give administrators greater control over their organization's collaboration, security and privacy.

This August, functions were implemented that will allow organizations to optimize the way they manage.

What improvements did Google implement for administrators?

New security alerts for highly confidential configuration changes 

Administrators will be notified in the Alert Center when critical configuration changes are made, such as:

• When changes are made to the main administrator.
• When a third-party SSO profile is added and enabled for your organization. 
• When a third-party SSO profile is updated for your organization. 
• When a third-party SSO profile is deleted for your organization. 
• When resetting a password for a super administrator account. 

They help administrators to be aware of high-risk changes and possible malicious actions. In addition, an email notification will be sent for each alert allowing the security research tool to be used. 

These alerts are enabled by default and cannot be disabled. 

Availability 

• Available for all Google Workspace customers, as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers.

Google Drive trust rules available in open beta version

From now on, this feature can be used in open beta version. It allows administrators to manage internal and external sharing. In this way, they can set specific rules to limit the sharing of organizational units and groups.

Previously, Google only allowed very general settings on how Drive files are shared inside and outside the company. So, trust rules appeared to give more control to the administrator. For example, they can limit resources or content to which certain employees have access.

First steps:

• The rules are activated from the Administrator Console at Rules. Once enabled, the "sharing options" will be replaced.

Availability 

• It is available for Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, Enterprise Standard, Education Plus and Education Standard customers. 
• Not available for Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Education Fundamentals, Frontline and Nonprofits, G Suite Basic and Business customers. 

Analysis of data from Connected Sheets through delegated access

Connected Sheets link Google Spreadsheets with BigQuery (Multi-Cloud Data Warehouse). For those working with this feature, administrators will be able to allow users to delegate access to BigQuery to collaborators to update or edit the analysis.

Why use it? 

The Connected Sheets allow you to analyze large volumes of data without needing to know SQL, using familiar tools and being able to generate statistics easily. 

This function is disabled by default. 

Availability

• It is available for Google Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Standard and Education Plus customers. 
• Not available for Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Education Fundamentals, Frontline and Nonprofits, G Suite Basic and Business customers.
