Audit Log Access
OAuth Scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.reports.audit.readonly
This allows us to read Google Workspace audit logs.
We use it to review important events such as:
-
Logins
-
Administrative actions
-
File-sharing activity
-
Changes to settings
-
Other security-relevant activity
This is important because audit logs help detect suspicious behavior, investigate incidents, and prove that controls are working.
Usage Reporting Access
OAuth Scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.reports.usage.readonly
This allows us to read Google Workspace usage reports.
We use it to understand:
-
How services are being used across the organization
-
User activity trends
-
Product usage patterns
This is important because usage reporting helps identify inactive accounts, adoption gaps, unusual behavior, and areas where licensing or security controls may need review.
