Troubleshooting

ErrorReasonResolution

Failure: IO error occurred

400 Bad Request GET https://admin.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/customer/my_customer/orgunits { "code": 400, "errors": [ { "domain": "global", "message": "Invalid Customer Id", "reason": "invalid" } ], "message": "Invalid Customer Id" },

Provide the customerID as Google Service Account is not associated with any customer. Ensure that the scope is correctly defined for the action/resource being executed.

directory/v1/groups?customer=my_customer { "code": 404, "errors": [ { "domain": "global", "message": "Domain not found.", "reason": "notFound" } ], "message": "Domain not found." }


Either provide customer or domain information as Google Service Account is not associated with any customer or domain.
