Google is introducing a new Workspace feature, “multi-party approvals,” requiring multiple admins to approve high-risk setting changes to enhance security. It aims to prevent unauthorized or accidental modifications while providing a streamlined process for admins. The feature rolls out gradually over two weeks and requires activation in the Security settings.
From the provided meeting notes, here are the key takeaways about Google’s new Workspace feature of multi-party approvals:
– The feature aims to require multiple admins’ approval for high-risk setting changes in order to prevent unauthorized or accidental modifications that could compromise security.
– It adds an extra layer of security for sensitive actions taken in the Admin console and helps prevent unauthorized or accidental changes from being made.
– Hackers who have hijacked a super admin account are prevented from performing actions that could compromise the entire Workspace without another Workspace admin’s approval.
– The feature also aims to prevent harmful actions by legitimate admins that could reduce the security level for the Workspace and its users.
– The roll-out of multi-party approvals started recently and will gradually become available to all users in the next two weeks.
– Workspace users with two or more super admin accounts are eligible for this feature, which can be activated through the Security > Multi-party approval settings.
