New document save status and offline indicator for Docs, Sheets, and Slides Posted: 08 Jun 2020 01:27 PM PDT Quick launch summary  We're updating the interface which tells users about the file save status and whether they're working online or offline in Google Docs editors and Drawings. The changes will help users understand where the file is saved, whether they're connected to the network, and if the file is available to edit offline. This is an update to the interface only - there are no changes in the underlying functionality. The changes you may notice include: A new location for document save status next to the document name.  More descriptive text to indicate whether a document is saved to the cloud (when online) or to the device (offline).  A new way to enable offline by clicking on the document status icon. Previously, you had to go to File > Make available offline.  For users in domains where admins have turned off Docs editors offline access, we will adjust the message shown to users in order to minimize confusion regarding settings controlled by their admin.  See images below for more details. Getting started  Admins: This interface update will be enabled by default. Use our Help Center to control whether your organization's files are available offline.  End users: This feature will be ON by default. Use our Help Center to learn more about working on Docs, Sheets, and Slides offline.  The saved file indicator is now next to the document name and features more descriptive text  You can enable offline by clicking the document status icon  Rollout pace  Rapid Release domains: Already available to Rapid Release domains Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 8, 2020  Availability  Available to all G Suite customers and users with personal Google Accounts.  Resources  G Suite Admin Help: Set up offline access to Docs editors  Google Help: Work on Google Docs, Sheets, & Slides offline

Use group-based controls for LDAP client access permissions Posted: 08 Jun 2020 09:21 AM PDT Quick launch summary  You can now configure the access permissions for an LDAP client by group. Previously, controls were only available at the organizational unit (OU) level. LDAP clients are in the secure LDAP service, which enables users to access traditional LDAP-based apps and IT infrastructure using their G Suite credentials. This new feature allows you to allow or prevent specific groups of users from signing in to an application. This can help you make sure only appropriate users are able to access and use specific applications. Group-based controls for LDAP clients in the Admin console  Getting started  Admins: You can add group-based controls to LDAP clients you have already configured, as well as any new clients you set up. Use our Help Center to learn more about how to add and connect new LDAP clients and configure access permissions for LDAP clients.  End users: No end user impact.  Rollout pace  Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 9, 2020  Availability  G Suite Enterprise, G Suite for Education, G Suite Enterprise for Education, and Cloud Identity Premium customers  Not available to G Suite Basic, G Suite Business, G Suite for Nonprofits, and Cloud Identity Free customers  Resources  G Suite Admin Help: Add and connect new LDAP clients  G Suite Admin Help: Configure access permissions for LDAP clients

Admin console improvements: API client access, GSM apps, admin roles, domain management, and unmanaged users Posted: 08 Jun 2020 08:55 AM PDT We've made several updates to the Admin console interface. Specifically, we've: Streamlined the API client access page  Improved and expanded the G Suite Marketplace apps (GSM) settings  Made it easier to manage admin role assignments  Created a new interface for domain management  Updated the unmanaged users and consumer account invite section  See below for more details on each of these changes. Streamlined the API client access page  The API client access page helps you grant API access to internal or 3rd-party apps, especially those using service accounts, on behalf of your users. We've created a simpler view of all apps that are authorized for domain-wide delegation and all authorized scopes, with service account and app name details. Updates to this view include: A new location for the page. It's now found at Security > API Controls > Domain-wide Delegation. It was previously at Security > Advanced settings.  Improved interface, with more information and clearer UI, which makes it easier to see, understand, and manage apps and scopes.  Removed applications domain-installed from G Suite Marketplace (GSM) from this view (they're now in the GSM settings section, detailed below.)  Visit the Help Center to learn more about controlling G Suite API access with domain-wide delegation.  The new interface for domain-wide delegation in the Admin console  Improved and expanded G Suite Marketplace apps (GSM) settings section  The GSM section helps you control which GSM apps your organization can use. Updates in this section include: General interface updates to several pages, including Admin console > Apps > G Suite Marketplace whitelist, Admin console > Apps > Settings for G Suite Marketplace apps, and Admin console > Apps > Domain install G Suite Marketplace apps.  Functionality updates when you click into a specific app on the Domain install G Suite Marketplace apps page, including:  A new "partially approved" status, in addition to "approved" and "not approved" to provide more visibility into data permissions for apps.  New grouping for data access scopes by API buckets (e.g. "Gmail," "Calendar," etc) to make it easier to understand app data access.  The OAuth client ID for the app.  Visit the Help Center to learn more about how to manage Marketplace apps for your organization. An example of the improved GSM app information page  Easier to manage admin role assignments  We've made updates to the area where you can view, create and assign admin roles within your organization. Improvements include: A new roles home page, where you can quickly see all the system and custom roles and the admins assigned those roles.  New quick-action buttons to more easily understand role privileges, then add and manage users in those roles.  Easier ways to create and assign custom roles, including ability to copy an existing role.  Use our Help Center to learn more about administrator roles in G Suite. The new interface to manage admin roles  New interface for domain management in the Admin console  We've updated the interface you use to manage your primary domain, secondary domains, and domain aliases. When you go to Admin console > Domains > Manage domains, you may notice: An updated interface with more complete information and descriptions of items and domain state.  New grouped action buttons which make it easier to see and select the action you want to take, such as verifying domains, changing your primary domain, setting up MX records, and more.  A new side panel which shows information about domains registered through Google, enabling you to quickly see and manage renewals and advanced DNS settings.  Use our Help Center to learn more about how to add and manage domains in G Suite. The new domain management interface in the Admin console  Updated the unmanaged users and consumer account invite section  We're making improvements to the interface you use to find and manage users who have personal Google Accounts that use your organization's domain. Through this interface you can invite them to join your domain so you can better manage their accounts and any company data within it. Specifically, when you go to Admin console > Tools > Transfer tool for unmanaged users, you'll find an updated interface that makes it easier to: Switch between managed and unmanaged account views.  See and filter users with personal accounts.  Invite them to migrate that account to your G Suite organization.  Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing existing personal accounts for your organization. Unmanaged user section in the Admin console Getting started  Admins: These updates will happen automatically. Use the Help Center links in each section above to learn more about the enhancements and available controls.  End users: No end user impact.  Rollout pace  These updates are available now for all users.  Availability  Available to all G Suite customers  Roadmap  Updates to the G Suite Marketplace apps section in Admin console was listed as an upcoming G Suite release.
