Google Workspace Changes

Admins can now monitor abuse-related events in the Alert Center.

Google Workspace admins will now receive alerts in the Alert Center and via email regarding abuse-related events within their organization, including content marked as abusive or user access restrictions to apps. This update enables admins to more efficiently monitor abuse and take necessary actions, such as suspending users or restricting access to specific services.

Google Workspace admins can now control access to Bard (now Gemini) via the Early Access Apps setting.

Google Workspace admins now have the ability to enable or disable access to Bard (now Gemini) for their users through the Admin console under Apps > Additional Google services > Early Access Apps. This feature is off by default and can be enabled at the domain, organizational unit, or group level. It is important to note that services managed by the Early Access Apps control are Additional Google services and are not covered under the Google Workspace agreement, Data Processing Agreement, or HIPAA Business Associate Addendum.
