## Features Update Summary - May 2022
> The summary of essential information about new features and improvements for Google Workspace customers in May 2022.
## ****
## **Product: Admin**
**Changes to Google Workspace storage policies timeline**
### Edition: These changes will apply to all customers with Google Workspace and legacy G Suite licenses

We’re extending the previously announced timeframe for upcoming changes to the Google Workspace storage policy. The updated timeline is:

### Who’s impacted: Admins only
In 2021, we gave admins the ability to configure authentication through a third-party identity provider for all users in their domain and then specify groups or organizational units (OUs) to require authentication using Google for a subset of users. Now, you can completely customize authentication by setting up single sign-on (SSO) profiles for multiple identity providers and then configuring authentication for each group or OU. This feature is available beginning today as an open beta, which means you can use it without enrolling in a specific beta program.
