6.7 A Mapping Example

Use the following example of authorization mapping to understand how mapping works.

  1. In Active Directory:

    1. Create a group named GoogleAppsUsers.

    2. Add users to the GoogleAppsUsers group.

  2. In Google Apps for Business, create a Google Apps Account group.

  3. In CloudAccess, configure the connector for Google Apps.

  4. On the Policy Mapping page:

    1. Load the authorizations for the connector for Google Apps.

    2. In the Role Name column, select the connector for Active Directory.

    3. In the right pane, select the connector for Google Apps.

    4. Drag and drop the Google Apps Account into the left pane, over the GoogleAppsUsers group.

    5. Click OK.

      The appliance automatically provisions all users in the GoogleAppsUsers group to the Google Apps Account group. Note that if the Prompt Before Provisioning option is enabled in the connector for Google Apps configuration, users are prompted the first time they log in to either create an account or specify an existing account.

  5. In Active Directory, create a new user, then add the user to the GoogleAppsUsers group.

    The user is automatically added to the Google Apps Account group and has access to Google Apps for Business.
