+_Generally available in Grafana Cloud_
+
+You can now map Google groups to Grafana organizational roles when using Google OIDC.
+This is useful if you want to limit the access users have to your Grafana instance.
+
+We've also added support for controlling allowed groups when using Google OIDC.
+
+Refer to the [Google Authentication documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/google/) to learn how to use these new options.
