Google has expanded a key security alert in Workspace so that businesses get notified whenever any administrator account has its password reset, not just the Super Admin account.
- What it is: The existing "Super Admin password reset" alert has been broadened into a general "Admin password reset" alert covering every administrator role in your organisation.
- Who is affected: Any business using Google Workspace with more than one administrator account, which is common once a business grows beyond a sole owner-operator.
- What the risk is: Password resets on privileged accounts are a common sign of account takeover. Previously, a reset on a non-Super Admin account could go unnoticed until damage was already done.
- What action is needed: No setup is required as this alert is enabled automatically, but we recommend confirming your admin console notification recipients are up to date so the right person actually sees these alerts.
This is a straightforward win for visibility into account security, and worth a quick check of who receives your Workspace admin alerts.
