Using Context-Aware Access, you can create granular access control security policies for apps based on attributes such as user identity, location, device security status, and IP address.
You control user access based on their context, such as whether their device complies with your IT policy.
Context-Aware Access sample use cases
You can use Context-Aware Access when you want to:
- Allow access to apps only from company-issued devices
- Allow access to Drive only if a user storage device is encrypted
- Restrict access to apps from outside the corporate network
You can also combine more than one use case into a policy. For example, you could create an access level that requires app access from devices that are company-owned, encrypted, and meet a minimum operating system version.
Note: Context-Aware Access policies can control app access only from end user accounts. They don't restrict access to Google APIs from service accounts.
