Introduction of administrator roles for managing Control Panel privileges.
Google has introduced a new system for managing administrator privileges in the Control Panel. Instead of assigning privileges on a per-user basis, administrators can now use predefined roles such as Help Desk, Services, and Groups, or create their own custom roles. For users who previously had delegated administrator privileges, Google Apps has automatically created corresponding custom roles.
