We’re enhancing Context-Aware Access (CAA) with a beta that enables admins to use it to control SAML apps. This gives admins the ability to control access to SAML apps based on the user, the device, and the context they are in when they are trying to access an app.

Context-Aware Access for SAML apps available in beta

Google is introducing a beta for Context-Aware Access (CAA) that allows administrators to control access to SAML apps based on the user, device, and context. This feature is available to G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Enterprise for Education, Cloud Identity Premium, and Drive Enterprise customers. Unlike CAA for G Suite applications, which offers continuous evaluation, CAA for SAML apps is enforced only at the time of sign-in.
