This includes control over members\u2019 ability to delete their own backups, admin\u2019s ability to delete member backups, and admin\u2019s permissions for restoring data on a member\u2019s behalf.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced Single Sign-On: <\/strong>Enable OpenID Connect (OIDC) single sign-on (SSO) and the ability to use tools like Okta and Azure Active Directory in addition to GSuite and Microsoft.

You also have the option to hide the ability to update the client through the desktop app, rename or purge end user backups from the web application, and prevent Group members from updating the client app on their own.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance Support: <\/strong>Benefits businesses who are mandated to apply greater controls given compliance, cyber insurance, or heightened recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We\u2019ve been using Backblaze to reliably back up our 400 endpoints for years.
