Google Workspace Lets Admins Set Role Expiration Dates
Google Workspace now lets admins time-limit role assignments for users, security groups, and service accounts. See how expiration works and its key limits. The post Google Workspace Lets Admins Set Role Expiration Dates appeared first on TechRepublic .
Google Workspace has introduced a new feature that allows administrators to set expiration dates for roles assigned to users, groups, and service accounts. This temporary role expiration helps prevent accidents where permanent administrator access is left behind after a project is completed. The feature is available to all Google Workspace customers and can be applied to temporary projects, employee absences, or external audits.
Super administrators can select a preset duration or input a custom expiration date and time, with a maximum limit of one year. To set an expiration, the super administrator must go to the Admin console, select the member or service account, and use the Change expiration option. Expiration can also be set on an existing assignment.
IT teams should review the roles and permissions an account holds before applying an expiration date, as Google Workspace Admin console does not grant temporary roles to primary administrators. The feature is available in Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains, although some enterprise users may not see the expiration controls until the release is complete.
