Admin privileges for the security center

Super Admins have automatic access to all security center features, including the security dashboard, the security health page, and the investigation tool. You can give delegated admins access to a specific security center feature (for example, just the security dashboard) by granting them the administrator privileges needed to access that feature. 

For general instructions about granting privileges to delegated admins, see Create custom administrator roles.

Grant security center privileges to an admin

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. From the Admin console Home page, go to Admin roles.

   To see Admin roles, you might have to click More controls at the bottom. 

3. Under User Created Roles, click a custom administrator role.

   Tip: Click Create a new role if you need to create a custom administrator role.

4. Click the Privileges tab.
5. Check the privileges for the security center area you want to grant access to:

Settings reference for the security health page

Super Admins automatically have access to all security health settings. For other admins, they need super admins to grant them the additional privileges listed below for each setting (or group of settings). If an admin doesn't have the required privileges for specific settings, those settings won't appear on the security health page.

Note: The security health settings for two-step verification for users, security key enforcement for users, and groups creation and management, are only visible to super admins and can't be delegated.
