In your Google Admin console, you can use the audit and investigation page to review user and administrator activity in your organization. You can use the information to track users and admins, and for security purposes.
The availability of features on the audit and investigation page depends on your Google Workspace or Cloud Identity edition. See the sections below for details about the different data sources that are available.
Note: If you have a premium edition such as Enterprise Plus or Education Plus, you have access to the more advanced features of the security investigation tool. The investigation tool enables super admins to identify, triage, and take action on security and privacy issues. For more details, go to About the security investigation tool.
