Filter for high risk group settings

How to view video closed captions and transcripts

The Filter by potential setting risk lets you identify risky group settings on your domain and quickly take action to protect your end-users.

Note: You can use the full power of Google Sheets native filters and filter views to hone in on specific risks beyond what is described here.

Risk filters 

The following filters are available in the sidebar:

  • Permissive posting rights: This filter applies to the Anyone can post messages column to filter out any groups where only owners or managers can post.permissivePostingArrow.png
  • Permissive join rights: This filter applies to the Who can join column to filter out any groups where only owners or managers can post.

These filters are only available when the advanced group membership analysis box was checked when you loaded the groups to the sheet.

  • Includes all domain users: This filter applies to the column of the same name within the Advanced membership analysis column group, and filters for only those groups where All domain users have been added as a group member.

  • Contains nested groups: This filter looks for only those groups that have other groups as members or owners.
