Google Workspace Changes

Improvements to local administrative access controls on Windows devices

Google is updating the administrative privileges setting for Windows device management to provide administrators with more control over local administrative access on Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices managed by Google Endpoint Management. This update simplifies settings and offers greater flexibility for organizations needing to maintain local admin access while managing specific users through Google Workspace. Previously, managing local administrative access used a 'Replace' behavior, which removed any existing members from the local administrators group before adding new ones.
