## Delegating Domain-Wide Authority

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

### Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

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 <a href="#requirements" id="requirements"></a>

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 <a href="#configuration-steps" id="configuration-steps"></a>

1. [Login to the admin console ](https://admin.google.com/)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**.

```
