What’s changing
Beginning today, we’re pleased to announce that all Google Workspace Admins with the
AppSheet service privilege can access the AppSheet Admin Console. The AppSheet Admin console is a consolidated location to monitor, manage and govern AppSheet across your organization. Previously, the AppSheet Admin Console was only available to those with an AppSheet Enterprise Plus license in public preview, but now any admin with sufficient privileges has access to monitor and manage their users (note: some features require an enterprise license for the admin and the user).
The AppSheet Admin Console gives admins visibility into the users, apps and licenses associated with their AppSheet users. From here, admins can:
- Review the most popular apps and creators.
- Review how many apps are owned and used for every user account.
- View all of their organization’s app users.
- Verify the AppSheet licenses purchased, assigned and used.
- Export a list of accounts, users, apps and licenses.
Since Public Preview, we’ve added more functionality:
- Historical app usage: Admins can see app usage history for all accounts in their organization up to three months starting today and soon extending to six months.
- Self-serve provisioning: Admins can choose how their enterprise licenses are provisioned – either through license assignment in the Workspace Admin Console or automatically upon login to AppSheet.
- Organizations as the new standard: New and existing Workspace customers can manage all of their secondary domain users under a consolidated AppSheet organization.
The AppSheet Admin Console
Who’s impacted
Admins
Why it’s important
We’ve heard from our customers that in order to effectively manage AppSheet activity in their organizations, they need visibility into its usage. This includes information regarding how many users are using an AppSheet license, who is accessing their teams apps, and more. Expanding access to the AppSheet Admin console provides admins with these critical metrics, enabling them to understand how the tool is being used and govern the use of the tool as needed.
Additional details
The Licenses page will remain in public preview pending some supporting launches and additional enhancements expected early in 2025.

What’s changing
Beginning today, admins now have the option to set up a custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) profile for single sign-on (SSO) with Google as their Service Provider. OIDC is a popular method for verifying and authenticating the identities – this update gives admins more options for their end users to access cloud applications using a single set of credentials. Previously, only OIDC with pre-configured Microsoft Entra ID profile was supported in addition to SAML.
Custom OIDC profiles can be configured in the Admin console at >Security > Authentication > SSO with third party IdP

What’s changing
Beginning today, we’re expanding our data migration experience to include the ability for Google Workspace admins to migrate conversations from channels in Microsoft Teams to spaces in Google Chat, making it easier for organizations to onboard and deploy Chat.
This can be done within the Admin console in a few steps:
- First, connect to your Microsoft account.
- Then, upload a CSV of the teams from where you want to migrate the messages. You can specify the source to destination identity mapping by uploading a CSV of the email ID’s from source to target.
- Next, you’ll enter the starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams. Then you can begin your data migration.
- Finally, you’ll complete the migration by making migrated spaces, messages and related conversation data available to Google Workspace users (see our Help Center article for specific details on supported data types).
Starting a chat migration in the admin console
When a migration starts, the UI displays a visual report that breaks down tasks with individual progress bars for tasks that are successfully completed, skipped, failed or have warnings.
The final step to complete the migration is to roll out spaces, making migrated spaces and their content available to users.
Additional details
- The Chat migration tool doesn’t delete or modify existing Google Chat spaces or messages.
- You can also run a delta migration, which will migrate any messages added to Teams channels since the primary migration. Messages that are already successfully migrated are skipped.
- Once a migration is complete, you can export a report that contains detailed information regarding content that skipped, failed or had warnings during the migration.
- You can find more information in our Help Center about migrating other forms of data from different types of source accounts.

What’s changing
Admins can now label a Google Group as “Locked,” which will heavily restrict changes to group attributes (such as group name & email address) and memberships. This will help admins who sync their groups from an external source and want to prevent getting out of sync, or who want to restrict changes to sensitive groups. This feature will be available in open beta, which means no additional sign-up is required.
The Group Details page in the Admin console shows a “Locked” label on the group, with the message “You can’t update this group – it might be managed by an external identity system.”
Who’s impacted
Admins
Why it’s important
If you use third-party tools, like Entra ID, to manage group synchronization, you may encounter inconsistencies when modifications are made to these groups, like adding or removing members, for example. To help address this, we’re introducing the option to “lock” a group, which will prevent modifications within Google Workspace and help maintain synchronization with the external source.
When a group is locked, only certain admins* can modify:
- The group name, description, email, and alias(es)
- Group labels
- Memberships (adding or removing members) and member restrictions
- Membership roles
- Delete the group
- Set up a new membership expiry
When a group is locked, access and content moderation settings are not affected, this includes:
- Who can post
- Who can view members
- Who can contact members
- Membership removals due to an existing membership expiry
- Access or content moderation settings
*Super Admins, Group Admins, and Group Editors with a condition that includes “Locked Groups”
Additional details
By default, the changes listed above will be restricted from end users, including group owners and managers of a locked group. If you want to also restrict some admins from making these changes in the Admin Console or APIs, you can assign them the Group Editor role with a condition that excludes locked groups.
The ability to lock or unlock a group using the “Locked” label is available to Super Admins, Group Admins, or a custom role with the “Manage Locked Label” privilege. Lock a group using the “Locked” group label in the Admin Console, or the
Cloud Identity Groups API.
