Adding Google Workspace Credentials

Overview

To connect to your Google Drive, you will need to add Google Workspace Credentials.

Securely storing your credentials here enables a seamless connection when running your Data Collectors that require authorization. 

NOTE: Should your credentials change for your server, you can update them from here.

Prerequisite: A Google Workspace Service Account and User Account are required for access. See Creating a Google Workspace Service Account & User Account for a detailed guide.

Add Google Workspace Credentials

1. Select the System tab.

2. Select the Credentials option from the drop-down list.

3. Click the Add Credentials button.

4. Select a Credentials Type; choose Google Workspace.

5. Enter a Friendly Name for your Server to help you easily recognize it.

6. Enter a Description for these credentials.

7. Enter your Google account username (represented by an email address) in the Account Name box.

8. Click Choose File to locate and upload your Google Service Account key file (this will be a JSON file).

9. Click Save and Close.

Once you have created your Google Workspace Credentials, they can be added to a Host, which will allow your Data Sources to inherit these credentials directly, eliminating the need to assign them separately.

Alternatively, you can assign the Credentials directly to a Data Source on a needs basis.
