Educators can now request access to third-party apps for their students

Was sich ändert

We’re introducing a new workflow that allows educators to request access to unconfigured third-party apps on behalf of their students.

Admins can allow educators and users who are over 18 years of age to request access to apps for themselves or on behalf of others (proxy requests). For example, admins may create a group of trusted users who are responsible for vetting third party apps and allow them to make proxy requests on behalf of students.

Educators can view a list of apps they have recently accessed with their Google Workspace account and request access for their students.

Admins can review and take action on these requests in the Admin console by going to Security > API Controls > App Access Control. Requests will be denoted with a “Proxy” label when the request is made on behalf of another user.

Once admins have configured access, they can opt to notify users and/or users who made proxy requests via email about the outcome of their request.

Warum es wichtig ist

Administrators can now allow a group of trusted users to vet and request third party app access on behalf of other users. This allows admins to better control who requests access and create a more streamlined process for app approvals.
