  4. Group Gator needs to be granted the right to access Google Services on behalf of your domain users. From the Turn on for drop-down, select the Organizational Unit (OU) to turn Group Gator on for.  Read more if you want to understand why each service scope is requested.
  5. Click Accept.
  6. Check the I Agree checkbox. Agreeing to Group Gator’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Google Apps Marketplace Terms of Service, along with clicking accept, will install Group Gator on your domain.
