## Goal{% #goal %}

Create a signal when Google Workspace detects a new Google Workspace administrative role.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

Monitor Google Workspace logs to detect `CREATE_ROLE` events.

## Triage and response{% #triage-and-response %}

1. Determine if there is a legitimate reason for the new administrator role (`@event.parameters.ROLE_NAME`).
1. If there is not a legitimate reason, investigate activity from around the Google Workspace administrator (`{{@usr.email}}`) and IP that created the role (`{{@network.client.ip}}`).
