Enable advanced context-aware access to Google Workspace in the Admin console

What’s changing 

You can now configure context-aware access (CAA) custom access levels using advanced attributes directly from the Google Workspace Admin console. You can use more advanced signals such as time/date restrictions, credential strength, Chrome browser attributes or verified ChromeOS as well as third-party signals via BeyondCorp Alliance partners

Who’s impacted 

Admins 

Why you’d use it
