Several administrative APIs, previously only available to Google Apps for Business and Education customers, are now available to all Google Apps editions. These APIs, including the Admin Audit API, Admin Settings API, SAML Single-Sign On, and the Reporting API, allow you to make bulk changes to users and settings on your domain, and download detailed information and statistics.

Please note that certain APIs, including the Calendar Resource API, Shared Contacts API, Email Settings API, and Email Audit API, are still limited to Google Apps for Business and Education editions.

Examples of administrative API actions now available to all Google Apps editions include:
- Create, rename, suspend, or delete users
- Retrieve a list of all users
- Move users between suborganizations
- Get details about usage statistics and storage quota
- Add and remove users from Groups

When accessing the APIs from a script, you can combine operations to perform actions in bulk. For example, you could retrieve a list of all users, and then add a new email alias for each one. You might also process a list of new accounts from a local file and use your script to create each user in Apps. We offer several client libraries so that you can easily use the APIs with your favorite programming language.

Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education

How to access what's new:
- Get started with Google Apps APIs at our Google Code site
- Experience the API authentication flow and try sample calls at the OAuth 2.0 Playground
- Learn how the SSO authentication flow integrates with Apps
- Engage with our developer community to learn more, assist others, and get help

- We recently made some changes to how the sharing settings in the administrator control panel affect calendars. Previously, these settings only affected primary calendars but now they affect secondary and resource calendars as well.

If you have a secondary calendar or resource embedded in a site you may have to modify these settings to make sure that it’s still visible or has the sharing setting you desire.

- In Gmail, users can delegate access to their account so that other users can read and send messages on their behalf. This is often useful in the scenario of an assistant/PA. However, these users were unable to RSVP to calendar invites in Gmail. Based on your feedback, delegates can now RSVP to events in Gmail on behalf of the account owner.

Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education

Languages included:
All languages supported by Google Calendar

How to access what's new:
- In the administrator control panel, go to “Settings”, then “Calendar” and “Sharing options.”
- Gmail delegates can RSVP to an invite in Gmail by clicking ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘Maybe’ in the first section of the invite message, not in the invite header below.

We have recently made a number of changes to make activating the email service even easier. These include:

- MX record setup is now fully unified in the Setup guide providing guided help for the customer through various email setup options such as direct to Google, Postini, or mail routing in a piloting scenario.

- Domains can now use Google provided test aliases, test-google-a.com, for as long as desired. Previously these aliases were removed once email was activated.

- The domain’s current MX records will now be displayed in the Control Panel under "Email Settings" and in the Setup guide. Showing these MX records in the Control Panel will help administrators check their status of email activation or incorrect MX records post-setup.

We encourage Google Apps administrators to manage the rollout of Gmail’s new look to their users, so they’ll have a better experience when the new look becomes permanent.

To assist with this, a new checkbox is now available in the administrator control panel giving administrators the ability to make the new look the default for all their users immediately. Administrators cannot revert this change, but individual users can temporarily switch back to the old look.

You can give your users all the information they need to make a smooth transition to the new look by visiting our Google Apps Learning Center, where you'll find ready-to-use guides, presentations, and videos on the new look for Gmail as well as other services.

Beginning November 22, 2011, we will end support for the Gmail App for Blackberry (installed native app). Over this past year, we've focused efforts on building a great Gmail experience in the mobile browser and will continue investing in this area.

Users may continue to use the app, if installed, however it will not be supported by Google, or available for download starting November 22. BlackBerry users can continue to access Gmail through the mobile web app at http://www.gmail.com in their BlackBerry web browser. Learn more.

A ‘Suggested times’ feature is now available in Calendar. If a guest is using Google Calendar and you or users at your domain have access to their calendar, when you click on this new feature, a popup will display times when guests are available.

Release track:
Rapid*

Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education

Languages included:
All languages supported by Google Calendar

How to access what's new:
1. Add a guest to your event and the ‘Suggested times’ link will appear.
2. Click the link to open a popup that will display times when guests are available.
3. Find a time that works and click to select it.
4. The calendar event page will automatically update to reflect your chosen time.

Note:
- If you don’t have access to a guest’s calendar, the popup will still indicate if “All participants can attend” as it only checks those calendars that you have access to, including your own.
- If there isn't a time when all of your guests are available, the popup will display the error message, "No free times for all participants were found through [day and time range you selected]. Choose a different start time to search again". This may happen if some guests have all-day events or working hours set.
- The list can also be navigated using the arrow keys and is accessible with a screen reader for accessibility.

The new look for Google Docs and Sites is now available to preview as an opt-in for scheduled release domains. You’ll see clean menus and toolbars, prominent action buttons, and colorful presence that pops when you’re editing with others.

Some of the changes:
- We made it clearer that your document is always saved, by showing “Saving...” right after you make a change and then “All changes saved” once it’s fully saved.
- We added an icon to the Share button so you can tell if your document is shared at a glance.
- If you’re looking for options that were previously under the Share button (e.g. “Email as attachment...”), you can now find these in the File menu.
- By default, the documents list automatically fits a comfortable number of documents on your screen (large desktop monitors show more, smaller laptop screens show fewer). We also added density options to give you more control.

If you opt in to the new look and want to go back, choose Help > Use the classic look (or in the gear menu, for some products). We’ll keep you updated on when these changes will become the default, and there’s more information on the new look at http://whatsnew.googleapps.com/new-look.

You can now display charts directly in Google Sites. Once you select a spreadsheet, the editor picks existing charts from the spreadsheet to embed into a Site.

You can decide to choose between two modes Live and Snapshot to show the data.
- Live provides you with dynamic charts. Whenever the chart is loaded in the Site, the chart will display the most recent data in the spreadsheet. This is very useful in cases when the spreadsheet data is updated manually or using a script.
- Snapshot means just that. It’s a snapshot at a point in time, so the chart will store and display the exact same data, regardless of whether you make changes to the underlying data sheet.
