[New Rule] Multiple self adds to Google Workspace user groups in short succession

[brokensound77]

Description

Detects multiple self add to Google Workspace user group in short succession, which could be indicative of attempts to Discover, Colletct, Exfil or perform recon.

Also, side note - what's the real difference between a user joining a group vs self adding to a group??
