Enforcing Google Workspace Password Resets via MDCA Configuration

[Paullee800]

Hi, I'm exploring Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (MDCA) as a potential CASB solution.

I'm particularly interested in how Data Governance and User Governance work when it integrates with Google Workspace.

The article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-cloud-apps/protect-google-workspace mentions MDCA's ability to "Require user to reset password to Google". However, I couldn't find a guide on how to configure these settings.

I've checked https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-cloud-apps/governance-actions, but no luck.

Has anyone configured "Require user to reset password to Google" in MDCA before? Does this functionality force a Google Workspace user to reset their Google account password? Thank you.

Hi!

this option is available in the Governance Actions section of Activity Policies, as per the capture below.

The usual scenario is that you would trigger this action on a specific user behavior that you deem suspicious or risky.
