The next step in creating a secure and consistent connection between JumpCloud and Google Workspace is configuring the integration. You can control the user data that syncs, which platform should be the source (JumpCloud or Google), whether distribution groups are managed from JumpCloud, the email domains that are allowed to sync, and if there is a default domain that should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prerequisites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Attribute Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After you’ve authorized the Google Workspace instance<\/a> in JumpCloud, choose the user attributes you want to import, export or exclude. This functionality allows you to centralize the management of these users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p><\/div> If no attributes are selected, i.e., all optional attributes are set to Exclude<\/strong>, only the JumpCloud owned attributes will sync. <\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n How does attribute data flow between Google Workspace and JumpCloud after integration<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p><\/div> Custom user attributes aren’t supported at this time. You may use the existing attributes for something other than their stated purpose as a short term workaround.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n First name, Last name, and Company email will always be imported from Google Workspace. With the exception of user state<\/kbd> and manager<\/kbd>, you can choose the optional user attributes that you would like to import from Google Workspace for new users and updates. Your chosen attributes will be mapped<\/a> from Google Workspace to the corresponding JumpCloud attribute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n First name, Last name, and Company email will always be exported to Google Workspace. You can choose the optional user attributes you would like to export to Google Workspace. Your chosen attributes will be mapped<\/a> from JumpCloud to the corresponding Google attribute. If you choose to stop exporting data for an attribute, it is no longer synced with Google Workspace. Subsequent changes made to that attribute in JumpCloud aren’t exported to Google Workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p><\/div> Take caution when selecting attributes to export. After you select an attribute to export to Google Workspace, it is immediately overwritten<\/em> with data from JumpCloud for all Google Workspace users managed by JumpCloud, and you could potentially lose data stored for that attribute in Google Workspace. <\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n These attributes are \u201cJumpCloud owned\u201d and always imported from Google Workspace to JumpCloud, and exported from JumpCloud to Google Workspace for bound users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attributes that can only be optionally exported <\/strong>to Google Workspace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attributes that can optionally be exported <\/strong>to or imported <\/strong>from Google Workspace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (*see Impact of the user state and password settings<\/a> for additional considerations when making selections for these attributes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following table outlines how attribute data is exported from JumpCloud\u2019s API and UI to Google Workspace’s API and UI. The attribute listed in the JumpCloud API Attribute Name<\/strong> column is synced to the attribute listed in the Google Workspace API Attribute Name<\/strong> column. The attribute listed in the JumpCloud UI Attribute Name<\/strong> column is synced to the attribute listed in the Google Workspace UI Attribute Name<\/strong> column. See our API documentation<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
