Updates to Gmail log events

What’s changing 

To support more granular incident investigations and to expand access to this critical security data, we’ve made a few changes to the Gmail Audit Logs. 

1. Addition of the Gmail log events to the audit and investigation tool 
Gmail log events, previously only available to customers with access to the Security investigation tool (Security > Security center > Investigation tool), will now also be available to customers with access to the audit and investigation tool (Reporting > Audit and investigation) when Gmail is enabled as an application. This is change is now available. 

2. Addition of the Gmail log events to the AdminSDK Reports API 
Gmail log events are now available in the Google Workspace Admin SDK Reports API, providing programmatic access to this data. 

3. Gemini Data Access Logging for Gmail log events 
Addressing customer feedback for more granularity in reporting on how Gemini accesses data, a “message content accessed” log event will now be triggered when the Gemini app or Gemini for Workspace apps access Gmail messages on behalf of a user. Those events will have a client type of “API” and an actor application name of “Gemini or Gemini for Workspace”. These events will become available to customers gradually over the next few weeks.
