Geo Location Restriction for Google Workspace (G Suite)


How can Location Restriction restrict access to Google Worspace (Gsuite) to our corporate devices?

miniOrange allows you to restrict the use of your application only within a particular range or locatiion. Users outside of that location are not allowed to access the applications.

  • Aside from IP and Device, another helpful restriction type is location based restriction. A lot of applications require there to be fine-tuned control over which applications need to be granted access based on the location of the user trying to gain access. Here, miniOrange’s Location-based restriction can easily be set up to scan a user’s access location and enable / disable access accordingly. It can be set up to an accuracy of a few kilometers, and you can have the option to grant access or deny access based on this location data.
  • The admin shortlists and configures a list of Geo-locations where they want to allow end-users to either login or deny based on the location set by the admin. When a user tries to login with adaptive authentication enabled, his location attributes such as (Latitude, Longitude, and Country Code) are verified against the Location list configured by the admin, and based on this user will be either allowed, challenged, or denied.

miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, Azure AD, OpenLDAP, Google, AWS Cognito etc), Identity Providers (like Shibboleth, Ping, Okta, OneLogin, KeyCloak), Databases (like MySQL, Maria DB, PostgreSQL) and many more.

  • If you want all your (non-super admin) users to sign in using a third-party IdP : You don't need to manage.
  • If you want some of your users to sign in to Google directly : Click Manage SSO profile assignments and continue to the next step.

      per-user basis. The Users view let you check the setting for a specific user.

    • Google sso (Single Sign-On) select the OU or group for assigning the SSO Profile

    • Choose Another SSO profile in case you already have another Identity Provider configured and would like to use it for user authentication.
    • Then click Save.
  • 2.2. To turn SSO off for all users:

  • Uncheck Set up SSO with third-party identity provider.
  • Click Save.

3. Configure Location Restriction: Restricting access by Limiting the number of locations

In this restriction method, admin configures a list of locations where we want to allow end-users to either login or deny based on the condition set by the admin.
