Google Directory – Google Service Account
In this article
Overview
You can use this account type to connect the Google Directory Snaps with data sources that use the Google Service Account.
When using the Google Service Account, you must pass the customerID as a filter key and set the filter value (for example, C125v1gta) in the Filter attributes settings in the Google Directory Read Snap. The filter attributes are optional when using other accounts. This step is mandatory when using the Google Directory Read Snap configured with the Google Service Account because, by default, it is not associated with any customer. Learn more about finding the customer ID in the Google Workspace.
Alternatively, you can follow the below steps to obtain the Customer ID:
Sign in using your administrator account in Google Workspace.
Navigate to your Admin Console.
Click on Account > Select Account Settings.
Check for Customer ID.
Prerequisites
Valid JSON key. Learn how to create a JSON key.
Limitations
When you read a Group Resource using the userkey as a filter key under the Filter attributes settings in the Google Directory Read Snap, a
404
error displays because the get API for the Google Resource supports only the groupkey as the filter key. Learn more.
Known Issues
None.
