Admin API permission in the Google Workspace Admin console
Overview
In this How-to article we describe how to add the Synchronizer as a trusted app to the Admin API permissions.
As long as the Synchronizer is not added as a trusted app, the Synchronizer profile will not be able to connect and will return an Error 400.
Note: Before November 4 2019 only the API access needed to be enabled. This option is now depreciated. To improve security, only the Admin API permission in the Admin console will control API access to Google Workspace Admin APIs.
Intended Audience
This article is intended for persons who are the administrator for the Synchronizer and for Google Workspace
Note: Customer who have Enabled API access before November 4 will not have to change their settings as Google already added the Synchronizer as a trusted app.
