For those who know better than I about what is available via the API and what is not:


I'd like to find a way to audit best practice settings in google admin as a service for member schools.

It would be nice if I could discover the value of settings like "require domain login after powerwash", etc.

How would one go about doing this, assuming of course it is doable?

Rance, 

Very few Admin settings are accessable via the API. You can only set Company profile and some generic settings using the Admin SDK. 
Service status, and their settings per org are not exposed. Setting things per G Suite environment is completely manual via the Web UI. 

I too wish for management access as I support 85 G Suite domains and when new options that need set on all of them, I am manually touching every G Suite.

Andrew:

 

There is a academic vendor called AmplifiedIT that offer the service of an audit checking key admin values.  This has to be automated somehow.  They don’t charge enough for it to pay for all the labor it would take to look all this stuff up manually.

 

It wouldn’t be as simple as an automated web script in a browser would it?

I have seen there offering, but I am not sure if it is automated in any way or not.

The Security Health page has some of this information that you can then easily get into the OU settings to change the values.
