Why Google Workspace

Connecting Google Workspace lets you sync users from your Google directory into CalmCompliance automatically. Instead of inviting people one by one, you map your organisation units (OUs) to sites and permissions, then run an import. New staff in Google appear in CalmCompliance with the right access. This saves time when onboarding teams and keeps user lists in sync with your existing Google setup.

How to Connect and Use Google Workspace

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations

  2. Find the Google Workspace card and click Connect

  3. Sign in with your Google account and grant the requested permissions

  4. After connecting, click Configure to open the integration settings

  5. Open the Org Unit Mapping tab and map each Google organisation unit to your site and permissions (Member, Manager, or Admin per module)

  6. Optionally open the Exclusions tab to exclude email patterns (e.g. system accounts or shared mailboxes)

  7. Click Start Import to sync users from Google into CalmCompliance

Users are created or updated based on the mapping. You can run Start Import again anytime to refresh the sync.

Before You Start

You need the Admin role for your site to connect and configure Google Workspace. If your organisation uses a Trust site with child sites, Google Workspace must be configured at the parent (Trust) site—child sites inherit the sync.

Common Questions

What data is synced? User names, email addresses, and organisation unit membership. The sync creates or updates users and assigns them to groups and sites according to your mapping.

Can I exclude certain users? Yes. Use the Exclusions tab to add email patterns (e.g. *noreply*, *bot*). You can also use auto-detect to suggest system accounts to exclude.

Where do I see the import history? Open the Import Log tab to view audit events for discovery, import runs, user creation, and any errors.

What if I'm on a child site? Google Workspace is configured at the parent site. Switch to the Trust site to connect and configure, or use Go to Trust Site Configuration from the integrations page.
