GOOGLE-WORKSPACE-7C6195865FE0538F release notes and known issues

Assign temporary administrator roles in the Google Admin console

Scope: Google Workspace. This update record adds version, fix and known-issue context. Its publication date is not a lifecycle boundary.

Summary

Admins can now assign administrator roles to users, groups, or service accounts for a defined period of time. Once the expiration time is reached, the access granted by the role is automatically revoked. This feature helps minimize security risks by reducing standing privileges and ambient access throughout your organization. It also streamlines administrative overhead, removing the need to manually track and revoke temporary privileges for short-term projects, coverage during employee absences, or external audits. When assigning a role, super admins can choose from predefined durations (such as 30 days) or set a custom expiration date and time. Temporary roles cannot be assigned to the primary admin for your organization, as the primary admin requires permanent super admin privileges.
