Google is rolling out a new Workspace feature that requires multiple admins to approve high-risk setting changes to prevent unauthorized or accidental modifications that could reduce security.
Google Workspace is a comprehensive suite of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools, integrating services such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Google Meet, and Google Calendar, offering a unified solution for businesses, educational institutions, and individuals.
In August, Google announced that they were introducing a new feature called multi-party approvals, which requires that an admin checks and approves sensitive actions initiated by another admin.
This new feature prevents hackers who have hijacked a super admin account from performing actions that would compromise the entire Workspace without first having another Workspace admin sign off on the change.
Eligibility applies to Workspace users with two or more super admin accounts, but the feature will be set to OFF by default.
