Additional space manager capabilities in Google Chat
Tuesday, September 26, 2023
We’re adding two new controls to the list of space manager capabilities in Google Chat that were introduced earlier this year to ensure effective conversations take place in spaces. The new “Manage apps” and “Manage webhooks” options will allow space managers to control the ability of space members to add and remove apps and webhooks to a space.
We’re also making the following improvements to enhance the overall experience of spaces in Chat:
- An updated “@” mentions dialog notification that explains why a specific user or an app cannot be added to a space.
- A new full screen view on web that shows space managers all installed apps and webhooks within a space.
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. Visit the Help Center to learn more about optimizing Chat spaces for your organization.
- End users:
- Go to the space menu > select “Space settings” > configure space settings and modify permissions as needed.
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing your space settings and your role as a Space manager.
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on September 26, 2023
- Available to all Google Workspace customers
