Google Workspace

Google Workspace Syncer enables automatic user synchronization from Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) to Casdoor. The syncer uses the Google Admin SDK Directory API to retrieve user information and keep your user directory synchronized.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the syncer, you need to set up a Google Cloud service account with domain-wide delegation and the Admin SDK enabled.

Step 1: Create a Service Account

Navigate to Google Cloud Console and create a service account:

1. Go to IAM & Admin → Service Accounts → Create Service Account
2. Enter a name and description for the service account
3. Click Create and Continue
4. Grant the service account the Service Account User role (optional)
5. Click Done

Step 2: Generate a Service Account Key

After creating the service account, generate a JSON key:

1. Click on the service account you just created
2. Go to the Keys tab
3. Click Add Key → Create new key
4. Select JSON format
5. Click Create and save the downloaded JSON file securely

Step 3: Enable Admin SDK API

Enable the Admin SDK API for your Google Cloud project:

1. Go to APIs & Services → Library
2. Search for "Admin SDK API"
3. Click on it and click Enable

Step 4: Configure Domain-Wide Delegation

Set up domain-wide delegation in Google Workspace Admin:

1. In the service account details, copy the Client ID
2. Go to Google Workspace Admin Console
3. Navigate to Security → Access and data control → API controls
4. Click Manage Domain Wide Delegation
5. Click Add new
6. Paste the service account Client ID
7. Add the OAuth scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly
8. Click Authorize

팁

The admin.directory.user.readonly scope allows the syncer to read user profiles in your Google Workspace domain in read-only mode.

Configuration

To create a Google Workspace syncer in Casdoor:

1. Navigate to the Syncers tab
2. Click Add to create a new syncer
3. Fill in the following required fields:

Field	Description
Organization	The Casdoor organization where users will be imported
Name	A unique identifier for this syncer
Type	Select "Google Workspace"
Admin Email	Email address of a Google Workspace admin user (e.g., admin@yourdomain.com)
Service Account Key	Paste the complete JSON content of the service account key file

Other database-related fields (Database type, Port, Database, Table) are not used for Google Workspace syncer and can be left empty.

Field Mappings

The syncer automatically maps Google Workspace user attributes to Casdoor user fields:

Google Workspace Field	Casdoor Field	Description
id	Id	User's unique identifier
primaryEmail	Email	Primary email address
name.fullName	Name	Full name
name.givenName	FirstName	First name
name.familyName	LastName	Last name
phones[0].value	Phone	Primary phone number
isAdmin	IsAdmin	Admin status
suspended	IsForbidden	Account suspension status

정보

The suspended field maps directly to IsForbidden. When a user is suspended in Google Workspace (suspended: true), they will be marked as forbidden in Casdoor (IsForbidden: true).

Running the Syncer

After configuration:

1. Click Test Connection to verify your credentials and permissions
2. Enable the syncer by toggling Is enabled
3. Click Sync to trigger an immediate synchronization
4. The syncer will automatically fetch all users from your Google Workspace domain

The syncer handles pagination automatically, retrieving all users regardless of the total count.
