Google is rolling out multi-party approvals for Google Workspace customers with multiple super admin accounts, the company has announced.
Google Workspace is a cloud-based set of productivity and collaboration tools/services aimed at enterprise audiences.
The multi-party approvals feature is one of many that were announced by the Google Workspace team in August 2023.
If the feature is enabled, certain sensitive admin actions can be taken only if approved by an admin who did not initiate them and thus, in theory, preventing accidental or unauthorized changes made by either malicious insiders or outsiders that have managed to compromise an admin account.
Admins can view details about each approval request before allowing or denying it.
The feature is off by default and can be turned via the Admin console.
The sensitive admin actions that can require additional approval include changes to 2-step verification and account recovery policies, Advanced Protection and Google session control settings, account login challenges, and the login-via-passkey option.
