TMA-GWS-1.1.1

Ensure that between two and four global admins are designated

MédiaNível 1Revisão manualgoogle-workspace

Descrição

Having more than one Super Admin account is needed primarily so that a single point of failure can be avoided. Also, for larger organizations, having multiple Super Admins can be useful for workload balancing purposes. From a security point of view, having only a single Super Admin Account can be problematic if this user were unavailable for an extended period of time. Also, Super Admin accounts should never be shared amongst multiple users. From a security point of view, having a large number of Super Admin accounts is a bad practice. In general, all users should be assigned the least privileges needed to do their job. This includes Administrators since not everyone that needs to "Administer Something" needs to be a Super Admin. Google Workspaces provides many predefined Administration Roles and also allows the creation of Custom Roles with very granular permission selection.

Como é corrigido

Método de correção: Orientação ou patch de infraestrutura

Create at least one additional account with a Super Admin role if there is only 1 Super Admin account. If more that 4 accounts with Super Admin access, reduce the number of accounts with a Super Admin role. NOTE: A new account should be created vs adding this role to an existing account since Administration tasks should be done through separate Admin accounts.
