  16. Click OK.

Keep this information, as it will be used in the next step in the Access Control configuration.

Configure Access Control

  1. Access the Integrations screen from the left menu.

  2. Select the GSuite integration type and click CONFIGURE INTEGRATION.

  3. Fill in the following fields:

    • Client ID: information obtained in step 15 during the creation of the client APP in Google Cloud Console.

    • Client secret: similarly to the Client ID, enter the Client secret you obtained in step 15 during the creation of the client APP in Google Cloud Console.

    • Policy: select the access policy to be applied with this access.

In case you have policies configured on your identity provider, they will override this one.

Disabling or editing a connection with GSuite

Once active, the connection to GSuite can be updated at any time. To do so, click on any field you want to edit, make the necessary changes and click on UPDATE.

To disable a connection, click the DISCONNECT button.

The DISCONNECT button will disable the access of all users from that integration. To reconnect, follow the steps above (Configuring a connection with GSuite).

The DISCONNECT button does not change your settings in your Identity Provider.

User login and control

Contrary to what used to happen with the Sensedia Platform login, now the login with username and password is still possible even after configuring the GSuite.

A user will be able to log into Sensedia products either through GSuite or separately.
