Grant a Google Workspace User Access to Google Vault With an Admin Role

Look for Google Vault in the list of permissions. 

There are a few checkboxes below it, each of which grants access to specific permissions. Some of them always apply to all organizational units, while you can restrict others to specific OUs.

You can restrict the following permissions to specific OUs:

Manage Matters – All matter management options: create, share, close, reopen, edit, delete and restore.

Manage Holds – View a list of users on hold, create and remove holds.

Manage Searches – Search and view data; create and delete saved searches.

Manage Exports – View, download, and delete exports. To create exports, you must have both this and the Manage Searches permission. If you are a Super Admin, note that you can only work with exports you’ve created and ones in matters shared with you.

You can not restrict the following permissions to specific OUs:

Manage Retention Policies – View, create, edit and delete retention rules.

View Retentions Policies – View all retention rules.

Manage Audits – View audit logs for matters that were created by or shared with the user. It also allows viewing all hold reports and viewing holds in matters the user can access.

View All Matters – View all matters.

After you select the desired permissions, click CONTINUE at the bottom.
