Use context-aware access to help protect Admin console access

You can now apply contextual access rules to the Admin console. This enables you to control access to the Admin console based on user and device context. For example, you can enable restrictions based on IP, minimum device operating system version, and more. This can improve your security posture and reduce the risk of incorrect access to your Admin console.
