Google Workspace is simplifying its admin experience by merging reporting rules with activity rules. This change aims to streamline rule creation and alert monitoring for administrators. Enterprise Plus and similar higher-tier customers will retain full activity rule functionality and can now create rules without thresholds. A new threshold mode will trigger rules every time an event occurs. For Business Starter and similar lower-tier customers, existing reporting rules will convert to activity rules. These users will gain configurable notification frequencies and more descriptive alerts but will not have threshold or action capabilities. Admins can now set notification frequencies to manage the volume of alerts they receive. This consolidation benefits admins by offering a more integrated workflow and enhanced reporting insights. The term "Reporting rules" will be rebranded as "Activity rules" throughout the Admin console. Admins with "Reports" privileges automatically receive new "Activity Rules View" and "Manage" privileges, which can also be assigned to custom roles. This change is currently available for all supported Google Workspace editions and does not require any action from end users.
