Hi all,

We've set up Google Security Operations with Workforce Identity Federation (using Azure AD). Everything works fine, but I'm wondering - is it possible to configure a backup authentication method in case our IdP goes down?

Can we have both WIF and a fallback Google account/service account for emergency access? Or does enabling WIF completely lock us into the external IdP?

Has anyone found a way to keep an emergency backdoor while using third-party authentication?

Thanks!

Hello, at the moment you can't have both. We have plans to support WIF and Google Cloud identity at the same time but I don't have any ETA.
