Control access to apps based on user & device context

Assign access levels to private web apps

After you create access levels, you’re ready to assign them to your private web apps. You can control access by user identity, device security status, IP address, and geographical location. You can also control access for apps attempting to access Google Workspace data through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

When you assign access levels…

  • Users are granted access to the app when they meet the conditions specified in one of the access levels you select (it’s a logical OR of the access levels in the list). If you want users to meet the conditions in more than one access level (a logical AND of access levels), create an access level that contains multiple access levels. If you want to assign more than 10 access levels for an app, you can use nested access levels to do so.
  • Users can access the app if they are a member of at least one configuration group that has access to the app.
