Admin SDK API access

AODocs uses the Google Workspace Admin SDK application programming interfaces (APIs) to access the lists of users and groups in your domain. This lets AODocs control if a user account exists in your domain, to retrieve the list of users who are members of a Google Group, and many other security-related operations.

This option is enabled by default.

  • Hello Mirage, I updated our Knowledge base team. We will update the article in next synchronisation. To answer you, the actions described here, require a G Suite super admin profile and they are needed for AODocs to be able to use the APIs (Google Drive, Directory APIs,..) to perform actions on the domains of our clients who installed and authorized AODocs.
