API Access Requirements

Gopher for Users requires the user to have a minimum of the following Google Admin API permissions:

  • Groups > Read
  • Groups > Update
  • Organization Units > Read
  • Schema Management > Schema Read
  • Users

You can assign these privileges (for a newly created role or to modify an existing role) in the Admin Roles area of the Admin console. 

  1. In the Admin console, navigate to Account > Admin roles.
  2. Select an existing role or create a new role.
  3. Go to Privileges or Select privileges depending on whether you are working with an existing or new role.
  4. The Privileges page has 2 sections; Admin console privileges and Admin API privileges. Scroll down to the Admin API privileges section.
