SaaS Management: Google Workspace Connector

JumpCloud® SaaS Management gives you visibility and control over shadow IT and SaaS app use within your org. Connectors detect shadow IT without adoption of a browser extension and provide a significant increase to the valuable usage and security insights.

The Google Workspace Connector retrieves users lists and data from the Google Workspace API, enabling seamless integration with third-party apps authenticated via Google credentials. It captures new users and login events via periodic polling and webhooks for real-time updates. This connector also ensures data integrity and security because it is configured via OAuth with read-only permissions.

Prerequisites

• To configure the connector, you must be a Google Workspace admin with read privileges.

Considerations

• Based on your organization’s size, the initial collection of data may take some time, up to an hour.
