Tenant Restrictions
Tenant Restrictions allow administrators to control which Microsoft Office 365, Google Workspace tenants users can access. It helps prevent unauthorized access to personal or unapproved corporate tenants, ensuring users only connect to organization approved environments. This reduces the risk of data leaks and unauthorized third-party collaborations.
To view the Tenant Restrictions page, access the SASE Administrator Portal and click Internet Access > Tenant Restrictions.

| Allowed Values |
Specifies the identifiers that users in the selected source groups or users are allowed to access. The accepted identifier type depends on the cloud service. See Allowed Values by Cloud Service below. |
Avoid setting the Allowed Identifiers value to Any, as this configuration has no effect on domain restrictions and does not limit access. Specify one or more domains explicitly to ensure the restriction is applied as intended.

Configuration Requirements for Tenant Restrictions
To enable tenant restrictions enforcement:
-
Ensure that traffic to Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace is inspected. The following domains must be inspected and not bypassed:
-
Microsoft 365:
-
login.microsoftonline.com
-
login.microsoft.com
-
login.windows.net
-
login.live.com
For more information, see Microsoft 365 documentation.
-
-
Google Workspace: *.google.com
For more information, see Google Workspace documentation.
-
-
Do not bypass these applications in the Bypass policy. For more information, see Certificate Pinning.
-
Do not block these applications in the Access policy.
This configuration allows SASE to apply tenant restriction rules and validate user access to authorized tenants.
Supported Applications
Tenant Restrictions supports these applications:
-
Microsoft Office 365
-
Google Workspace
Creating a Tenant Restriction
-
Access the SASE Administrator Portal and click Internet Access.
-
Go to Tenant Restrictions.
-
For the cloud service you want to add a restriction, do these:
-
In the Source field, add groups or users list to which you want to apply the rule. Default is Any.
-
Click Any > Add Source > Groups or Members.
The Manage Groups or Members window appears.
-
Select group(s) or member(s) from the list.
-
Click Apply.
-
In the Allowed Domains field, select the domain(s) or tenant ID(s) that you want to allow or restrict for access.
-
Click None > Add Allowed Domain > Domains or Tenant IDs.
The Manage Domains window appears.
-
Select the domain(s) or tenant ID(s).
-
Click Apply.
-
To activate the rule, turn on the Status toggle button.
-
Click Apply in the bottom of the page.
-
Click Apply.
Notes:
-
Each application supports a single configuration. Rules are not prioritized or matched in order.
-
All changes to the Tenant Restrictions configuration (for example, domain updates, enabling or disabling rules) are recorded in the administrator audit log.
-
Restriction enforcement occurs on the end user side within the SaaS application. For more information, see Microsoft 365 documentation.
-
Changes are applied as part of the Internet Access policy and are enforced by the Internet Access engine once you click Apply.
-
End User Behavior
When Tenant Restrictions are enabled, users experience these behaviors based on their actions:
|
Scenario |
User Experience |
|---|---|
| User accesses an allowed tenant | Access proceeds normally. |
| User accesses a disallowed tenant | A block page is displayed by the SaaS application (for example, Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace), indicating that access is not permitted. |
| User accesses another SaaS application | No restriction is enforced, and access is allowed (for example, Salesforce and Atlassian). |
|
User accesses a GitHub enterprise not in the allowed Enterprise IDs list |
GitHub displays:“Your network administrator has blocked access to GitHub except for the [enterprise name].” Access is denied across all supported channels. |
Tenant Restriction Logs
When a user attempts to sign in to a SaaS application using an account that does not belong to an allowed tenant, Check Point SASE blocks the login and generates a log entry. These logs help you identify unauthorized access attempts and policy gaps.
Logs are generated automatically. No additional configuration is required.
Prerequisite
Check Point SASE Agent version 12.7 or later.
What gets logged
-
A single log entry is created for each blocked login attempt. Each entry includes:
-
User - The identity that attempted to sign in
-
Application - The SaaS application where the login was attempted
- Restricted Domain - The domain the user tried to access
-
Category - The URL category of the login endpoint
-
Policy Rule - The tenant restriction rule that blocked the attempt
-
Action - Blocked
-
Limitations
-
Logs are generated only for failed login attempts.
-
Successful logins to allowed tenants are not logged.
