Delegating Domain-Wide Authority

Learn how to connect Google Workspace to Couchdrop with a Client ID and domain-wide delegation

Introduction

To connect a Google Workspace account to Couchdrop you need to delegate domain-wide authority so Couchdrop can access your users and migrate them automatically.

Requirements

Delegating Domain-Wide Authority requires the following:

• A Google Workspace Administrator Account to access the Admin Console

• Familiarity with the Google Admin Console

• Client ID for Google generated in Couchdrop when configuring a Google Workspace connection

Configuration Steps

1. Login to the admin console for your Google Workspace domain.

2. Select the Security tab. If you don't see Security, select Show More from the bottom of the menu list.

3. Choose Access and data control and then API controls.

4. In the Domain wide delegation section, choose MANAGE DOMAIN WIDE DELEGATION.

5. In the API clients section, click Add new. Paste the Client ID generated from Couchdrop into the Client ID field.

6. In the OAuth scopes (comma-delimited) field, paste the following:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.security

1. Click Authorize. Test that the connection in Couchdrop is successful to complete your configuration.
