Some features in the security center—for example, data related to Gmail and Drive—are not available with Cloud Identity Premium.
As a super administrator, you can access security center features, including the security dashboard, security health page, and investigation tool. You can give other admins access to a specific security center feature—for example, just the security dashboard—by granting them the privileges for that feature.
For more about granting these privileges, go to Create, edit, and delete custom administrator roles.
