Grant data access on your Google domain – AODocs Knowledge Base

Important: This article is for Google Workspace customers only. If you're using Microsoft 356 and are interested in installing AODocs, contact our Sales team: sales@aodocs.com.

AODocs requires your permission to perform operations on your Google domain, such as updating file permissions, creating folders, reading the list of users and groups, etc.

These permissions are normally set when you install AODocs from the Google Workspace Marketplace, but in some cases, they need to be confirmed manually by a Google Workspace super admin.

To check the status of the AODocs permissions on your domain:

1. Open the Google Admin console.

2. In the left panel select Apps > Google Workspace Marketplace apps > Apps list.

3. Click AODocs.

In the Data access section, the status indicator should display Status: Granted in green. If it's not, click the Grant access button.

Note: If your Google domain has a large number of organizational units, granting data access to AODocs on your domain may take some time (up to a few hours). In this case, AODocs will report application programming interface (API) errors until the API access permissions granted to AODocs are applied on all organizational units.
