Google Workspace Changes

View Alert Center notifications directly from the Admin console toolbar.

Administrators can now quickly access Alert Center alerts from anywhere in the Admin console via a new bell icon in the top toolbar. Selecting this icon surfaces the ten most recent alerts along with brief descriptions, allowing admins to click a specific alert to open it or select 'View all' to navigate to the full Alert Center.

Renaming 'whitelisted domains' to 'allowlisted domains' in the Admin console.

Google is updating the terminology in the Admin console, replacing instances of 'whitelisted' with 'allowlisted'. This change is intended to use more inclusive language and more accurately describe the action of allowing specific domains.

One-click recommended actions are now available in the Alert Center for Admins.

Admins can now implement recommended actions directly from the Alert Center with a single click, allowing for faster triage and remedy of incidents. Available actions include marking email messages as phishing, suspending or restoring users, and blocking devices, all without leaving the Alert Center interface.

New 'Inspect Groups' function to view direct and indirect group memberships in the Admin console.

Google Workspace has introduced the 'Inspect Groups' function in the Admin console, allowing administrators to easily view direct and indirect group memberships. This feature enables admins to see an expanded view of all memberships in a nested group structure, validate whether a specific user is a member of a group, and list all groups a user belongs to along with their membership relation (direct, indirect, or both).
