By enabling SSO in Admin, G Suite users can also access SSO-enabled devices based on Windows 10. By leveraging the Google Credential Provider, users can allow employees to use G Suite credentials to login to Windows 10 devices. Admins can also secure these devices through the platform by using Google’s anti-hijacking and suspicious login detection technologies. Furthermore, users of G Suite Enterprise, Enterprise for Education, and Cloud Identity Premium are getting additional perks. Specifically, they can organize Windows updates in compliance with organizational policies and perform admin actions such as configuring updates on Windows 10.
