# Auditing The primary method of auditing in Google Workspace is through the audit and investigation tool. This tool allows admins to run searches, download reports, and create reporting rules for audit purposes. Higher-tier plans have a more powerful version of this tool called the security investigation tool in the [Security Center](/cloud-storage-platforms/google-workspace-overview/reporting-and-auditing/security-center.md) that allows for more detailed queries and reports. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
