Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create an 'Access Level' in Context-Aware Access and apply it to the Admin console app.
Why it's wrong here
Context-Aware Access cannot be applied to the Admin console itself.
- ✗
Disable 'Advanced Protection Program' for all users.
Why it's wrong here
Advanced Protection is for user security, not administrative access restrictions.
- ✗
Apply a VPC Service Controls perimeter around the organization.
Why it's wrong here
VPC Service Controls protect GCP services, not the Google Workspace Admin console.
- ✓
Configure 'Admin console sign-in restriction' under Security > Authentication.
Why this is correct
This setting directly restricts access to the Admin console to specific allowed IP addresses.
