Set Context Aware Access policies for 1P & 3P applications to access Workspace APIs

What’s changing 

Admins can now use context-aware access to block users' access to Workspace Applications via other Google (1st party) & non Google (3rd party) applications. With context-aware access, you can set different access levels to Workspace applications based on a user’s identity and the context of the request (location, device security status, IP address). 




Why it’s important 

Context aware access for APIs will enable customer admins to extend existing user/device CAA context access controls to end users attempting to access Google Workspace Applications via other Google & Non Google applications. Extending these policies to APIs that request Google Workspace core data gives admins another layer of control and security and helps protect against data exfiltration.
