Question 2

You need to limit the number of participants in a Google Meet session to 10 for a specific organizational unit. How do you achieve this?

Question 3

A user deleted a document from their Google Drive three days ago. As an administrator, what is the maximum time you can restore this file?

After 25 days, the file is permanently purged and cannot be restored by the administrator. This makes 25 days the correct maximum.

Answer

Security > Authentication > Email verification

Answer

Question 6

A department requires a custom building resource to be added to Google Calendar. Where do you add this?

Accepted Answer

Directory > Buildings and resources. In the Google Workspace Admin Console, building resources (like meeting rooms) are managed under Directory > Buildings and resources. This section allows admins to add, edit, and manage buildings and their associated resources, which then become available in Google Calendar for scheduling.

Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Directory > Calendar

Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Calendar > Resources

Answer

Organization > Settings > Resources

Question 7

A user is complaining that they cannot send emails to a specific external domain. Where do you check for blocklists or routing issues?

Accepted Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Gmail > Routing. The correct location to check for blocklists or routing issues that affect outbound email to a specific external domain is Apps > Google Workspace > Gmail > Routing. This section contains the Routing settings where administrators can configure rules that determine how messages are routed, including whether they are blocked or sent to a specific destination. If a user cannot send to a particular domain, it is likely due to a routing rule or blocklist configured here. The other options are either for authentication (SPF) or compliance settings, which do not control outbound routing or blocklists.

Answer

Security > Authentication > SPF

Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Gmail > Compliance

Answer

Security > Gmail > Routing

Question 8

You need to prevent users from installing third-party Marketplace apps that request Drive read/write access. How do you configure this?

Accepted Answer

Security > Access and data control > API controls > Manage Google Services. To prevent users from installing third-party Marketplace apps that request Drive read/write access, you configure API controls under Security > Access and data control > API controls > Manage Google Services. This allows you to set app access control policies that restrict which apps can access Google services, including Drive.

Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Marketplace > Settings

Answer

Security > App access control

Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Drive > API settings

Question 9

You need to ensure that Google Meet sessions created by your users always require a password/PIN for external participants. How do you enforce this?

Accepted Answer

This feature is not available in Google Workspace. Google Meet does not use PINs for external participants; it uses host management and entry controls.

Answer

Configure 'External participation' in Meet settings

Answer

Require 'Admin approval' for all meetings

Answer

Enable 'Meet Entry PIN' in Meet settings

Question 10

Where can you enable the automatic creation of Google Meet links for calendar events?

Accepted Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Google Meet. The automatic creation of Google Meet links for Calendar events is controlled from the Google Meet service settings in the Admin console, specifically Apps > Google Workspace > Google Meet. Within that service, the 'Meet video settings' section contains the toggle for 'Automatic recording' and, more relevantly, the Calendar-related options that govern whether Meet links are auto-generated for events. This is the canonical location because Meet is the service that owns the conferencing feature, even though the link surfaces inside Calendar.

Answer

Security > Meet > Calendar sync

Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Calendar

Answer

Apps > Google Workspace > Directory
