Use groups to manage Context Aware Access for G Suite
Thursday, February 6, 2020
Use our Help Center to find out how to manage context-aware access.
Using groups enables more granular access controls while minimizing the amount of work required to create and manage different OUs. For example, groups may make it easier to set up different policies for:
- Users at different organizational levels (e.g. executives)
- Users in specific roles (e.g. admins)
- Users with different employment statuses (e.g. full-time employees or temporary workers)
Admins: There will be no change to existing context-aware access policies, but you can now set policies at the group level. Visit the Help Center to get an overview of context-aware access, or learn how to customize context-aware access with groups.
End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.
