This project has been discontinued and replaced with Google API python library, which is used directly by Perun scripts. See the docs.

G Suite connector

This repository contains java application, used by Perun to connect to G Suite service and synchronize users and groups from Perun to your domain in G Suite.

You can also use this application without Perun. You just need to make necessary setup and pass input file in expected format.

Sources of the Perun are located in own repository.

Requirements

• Java >= 17
• Maven >= 3.6.x
• G suite account

Configuration

Set your G suite account

Firstly, generate your service account email in your Developers Console according to this guide.

Secondly, generate your P12 key in your Developers Console.

Thirdly, set your API Scopes according to this guide to be able to access Google Groups data via service account. Otherwise, you will get Insufficient Permission Exception.

If you wish to use Drive API, please enable it in developer console. Just adding scopes is not sufficient.

Create necessary files

Properties file is necessary for successful execution of the application. Name your properties file according to your domain name. E.g. if your domain name is domain.org then your properties file would be named like this:

• touch /etc/perun/google_groups-domain.org.properties

After creating properties file, add following properties in it:

• service_account_email is an email generated in Developers Console
• user_email is an email address of your google apps account
• service_account_pkcs12_file_path is a path to your generated P12 key. It's very important to name your P12 file according to your domain name (e.g. if your domain name is domain.org, then your P12 file will be named client_secret_pkcs12-domain.org.p12 and move it to the folder /etc/perun/.
• scopes list of scopes allowed for your service account necessary to perform expected changes
• member_identifier type of identifier you use in input files to identifier user
• allow_delete true/false value determine, if users missing in input file are deleted from domain or just suspended
• allow_delete_teamdrive true/false value determine, if TeamDrive is deleted when missing in input file or just all permissions are removed
• dry_run true/false value determine, if this tool performs only READ or READ/WRITE operations with Gooogle API. If true, WRITE actions are logged, but not actually performed.

Your properties file should look like this:

service_account_email=[SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL]
user_email=[GOOGLE_APPS_ACCOUNT_EMAIL]
service_account_pkcs12_file_path=/etc/perun/name_of_your_p12_file
scopes=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.orgunit,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/groups,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
member_identifier=id
allow_delete=false
dry_run=false

Usage

Based on desired action, you must prepare CSV file splitted by ; containing either domain users, groups and their members or teamDrives and their users. You will then pass it to the main class as its argument.

Users.csv example

Format is: primaryMail;givenName;FamilyName;suspended flag

[email protected];User;One;
[email protected];User;Two;
[email protected];User;Three;suspended
[email protected];User;Four;

New users will have random password generated, so different type of authentication must be provided for your domain - e.g. using Shibboleth IdP. You can mark users as suspended to suspend them in G Suite. Existing user name is updated if changed.

Domain users missing in input file are suspended by default, but you can allow deletion by setting allow_delete=true in properties file.

Groups.csv example

Format is: email;name;members_identifiers

[email protected];Group One;[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]
[email protected];Group Two;
[email protected];Group Three;[email protected]

Groups are identified by their mail. Name of Group is updated if changed. Group members are updated if changed. Based on properties file config Member identifier is either primaryMail or ID.

For managing users and groups together using 'email' as Member identifier is suggested, since this connector doesn't retrieve User IDs back from G Suite. For managing only groups (filled with public google accounts outside your domain) you can use IDs as provided by their Google Identity registered in Perun.

TeamDrives.csv example

Format is: name; primaryMails

TeamDriveNameOne; [email protected],[email protected]
TeamDriveNameTwo;

TeamDrives are identified by their name. TeamDrive users are updated if changed. User identifier is just primaryMail. Every User has equal permission with full access as organizer.

For managing users in teamDrives is enough to update input file. For new Users will be created new Permission. Users missing in input file are suspended by default. TeamDrives missing in input file are suspended by default.

Execution

Main class of the application needs input arguments for successful execution. First argument is your domain name. Second argument is type of action: "users", "groups" or "teamDrives". Third argument is path to CSV file (users, groups or teamDrives - depending on action)

java -jar ./google-group-connector-2.0.2.jar DOMAIN ACTION PATH_TO_CSV_FILE

By default, application logs to console. You can change default logging by passing own logback configuration.

java -Dlogback.configurationFile=file:///etc/perun/logback-google-groups.xml -jar ./google-group-connector-2.0.2.jar DOMAIN ACTION PATH_TO_CSV_FILE
