Visualizing Google Workspace with SquaredUp

Forget sifting through endless tables and reports to understand your Google Workspace environment and users. SquaredUp dashboards transform raw data into dynamic, insightful visualizations, making it easy to monitor user activity, admin actions, and security posture at a glance. Let's explore how this dashboard brings Google Workspace data to life.

Beyond the numbers

• Total Users & Admins: Instead of just listing user counts, this dashboard uses clear, bold numbers for "Total Users" and "Admins," immediately drawing your attention to these key figures.

• Suspended & 2SV Status: Pie charts are a classic for a reason! Here, they provide a quick visual breakdown of "Suspended Users" and "2SV Enrolled from Google." You instantly see the proportion of users who are suspended and those who have enabled 2-step verification, highlighting potential security risks or areas for improvement.

• User Spotlight: The "Users with no 2-step enabled" tile goes beyond simple counts. It presents a detailed table with crucial information like last login time, admin status, and whether they've agreed to terms. This allows for targeted action – perhaps sending reminders to those who haven't enabled 2SV or investigating inactive accounts.

SquaredUp's Web API plugin in action:

This dashboard leverages SquaredUp's Web API plugin to pull data directly from the large suite of Google Workspace APIs. This means real-time updates and the flexibility to customize the metrics you track. It would also be possible adding tiles to monitor:

• License usage: Are you maximizing your Google Workspace investment?
• Storage consumption: Identify users or groups consuming excessive storage.
• Application activity: Track usage of Gmail, Drive, Meet, and other Google services.

The power of visuals:

SquaredUp doesn't just present data; it tells a story. By combining clear visuals with relevant metrics, this dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your Google Workspace environment. This empowers you to:

• Proactively identify issues: Spot potential problems like inactive accounts or users without 2SV.
• Track trends over time: Monitor changes in user behavior, admin activity, and security compliance.
• Make informed decisions: Use data-driven insights to optimize license allocation, improve security policies, and enhance user experience.

Conclusion

SquaredUp dashboards transform the way you interact with Google Workspace data. With its powerful visualization capabilities and flexible Web API integration, you can create dynamic, insightful dashboards that keep you informed and in control of your environment.

Identity and users is just one example of how SquaredUp can be used to visualize Google Workspace data. With a bit of creativity and the right tools, the possibilities are endless!
