Connect Google Workspace
Authorize Surface once with a Workspace admin account, and it keeps group membership in sync.
Before you begin
- You are a Google Workspace admin. A regular account cannot approve the permission.
- You have the Owner or Admin role in Surface.
How it works
Start the connection
Open Integrations, Apps tab. On the Google Workspace card, click Connect.
Go to Google
A window titled “Connect Google Workspace” explains that you will be redirected. Click Authorize with Google.
Sign in and approve
Sign in with your Workspace admin account. Google asks for read-only access to groups. Click Allow.
Return to Surface
Google sends you back to the console. The card now shows Connected.
What happens next
Surface reads your groups and members on a schedule and keeps the Users page in sync.
If it fails
The usual cause is signing in with an account that is not a Workspace admin. Try again with an admin account.
