Google Workspace and JumpCloud<\/a> are better together. That\u2019s why the companies partnered<\/a> to bring access control, identity, and device management to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that use Workspace. JumpCloud features a pre-built cloud directory sync<\/a> that makes it possible for admins to automate user lifecycle and provisioning. This article outlines how the integration works and how it makes \u201csingle pane of glass\u201d management a reality, backed by JumpCloud\u2019s frictionless authentication that secures access to every IT resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workspace directory sync is pre-built into JumpCloud<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The integration provides secure and consistent connectivity between JumpCloud and Workspace. IT admins can automatically provision new JumpCloud user accounts into Workspace and synchronize specified user attributes from JumpCloud to Google accounts. JumpCloud can be used to manage distribution groups in Workspace with dynamic groups automating group memberships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely, admins have the option to import users from Workspace into JumpCloud while keeping group membership and organizational unit management within Workspace. JumpCloud and Google provide optionality for admins to decide what the best solution is for their organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud can serve as the identity provider (IdP) and use groups to provide single sign-on (SSO) into web apps using SAML and OAuth. It manages access to other on-prem IT resources such as Wi-Fi networks and network appliances using the LDAP and RADIUS protocols. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is environment wide<\/a> with options for modern, passwordless authentication as well as targeted conditional access rules<\/a> for your privileged users. JumpCloud has the added benefit of deploying cross-OS device management via groups, ensuring that unmanaged devices can\u2019t access your resources, including Workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all begins by configuring cloud directory sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced Lifecycle Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s presume that you\u2019ve integrated Workspace with JumpCloud\u2019s open directory platform. You\u2019re now ready to reap the benefits of this integration by streamlining identity lifecycle management. Lifecycle management ensures quick, accurate provisioning of users to resources while maintaining mature entitlements management. That\u2019s possible because JumpCloud and Google both use dynamic groups<\/a> that leverage user attributes to automate group memberships. JumpCloud can also import attributes from other sources such as your HR systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
