Set up the gsuite integration.

Goal

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

Strategy

Monitor Google Workspace logs to detect CREATE_ROLE events.

Triage and response

1. Determine if there is a legitimate reason for the new administrator role (@event.parameters.ROLE_NAME).
2. 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}}).
