Admins can install Chat apps for use in direct messages
What’s changing
Google Chat apps integrate with productivity tools, enable you to collaborate with others, and can also help automate your work. Previously, to start using an app in Chat, users had to individually install apps as described here.
Starting this week, admins can install Chat apps for direct messages on behalf of users within their domain from the Workspace Marketplace. Users will automatically see when an app has been enabled, eliminating the need to manually install the app themselves.
Admins can deploy Chat apps as they see fit: to an entire domain, OU, or group of users using the Workspace Marketplace apps management controls.

Guidance on Potential Misconfiguration of Authorization of Multi-Tenant Applications that use Azure AD
Summary Summary Microsoft has addressed an authorization misconfiguration for multi-tenant applications that use Azure AD, initially discovered by Wiz, and reported to Microsoft, that impacted a small number of our internal applications. The misconfiguration allowed external parties read and write access to the impacted applications. Microsoft immediately corrected the misconfiguration and added additional authorization checks to address the issue and confirmed that no unintended access had occurred.

Launching in beta: manage working locations with the Calendar API
What’s changing
Available now in beta through our Developer Preview Program, you can read working location data using the Calendar API and get notified when those working locations change. Previously, we said this functionality would be available through a separate API. However, in order to provide a more streamlined experience, this functionality will be instead available in the Calendar API.
Using the API to read a Calendar user’s working location values can help you:
- Analyze the flow and volume of people through physical campuses, helping you adapt on-site resources to the needs of your employees.
- Share whereabouts across other internal or third-party surfaces, making it easier to enable tasks such as hot desk booking or schedule in-office or remote working days.
We anticipate write support for the API to become available in Q3 2023 — we’ll share an update here on the Workspace Updates Blog at that time.
Getting started
Admins and Developers:
- Developers can apply to Google Workspace Developer Preview Program to use this feature. For more information, see our developer documentation for reading a user's working location.
- Important Note: While all developers will be able to use the API, the working location feature is only available for eligible Workspace editions.
Admins:
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about configuring the working location feature for your organization.
Availability
While all developers will be able to use the API, the working location feature is only available for eligible Workspace editions:
- Available to Google Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Fundamentals, Education Plus, Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade and Nonprofits customers, as well as legacy G Suite Business customers
- Not available to Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Enterprise Essentials, Frontline, G Suite Basic customers

Connected Sheets for Looker now available for all Looker-hosted instances
What’s changing
In 2020, we introduced Connected Sheets on Google Sheets, to help you analyze, visualize, and share billions of rows of data from your spreadsheets. Since then, we’ve made numerous improvements to the feature, including the recent announcement that you can now explore Google Cloud hosted Looker instances using Connected Sheets.
Today, we’re expanding upon this by making Connected Sheets available for Looker instances hosted on non-Google Cloud providers like AWS and Azure.
