# Google Workspace

Connect Google Workspace to Cakewalk as an identity source: an Administrator signs in and accepts the requested scopes.

Google Workspace connects to Cakewalk when an Administrator signs in and accepts the requested scopes. The shared flow in [Connecting an HRIS](/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/connecting-an-hris.md) covers what syncs and what happens after you save; this page covers the Google side.

### ✅ Before You Start

* You need a user who is an Administrator in your organization's Google Workspace account. Only Administrators can complete the setup.
* If you are not an Administrator: send the connection link to an Administrator so they can take over the setup, or ask them to make you an Administrator of the Google Workspace account.

### 🛠 Connect

1. In Cakewalk, go to **Settings → Data Sources → Users** and select Google Workspace.
2. Sign in with the Administrator account and accept the listed scopes when prompted. The connection flow shows the exact list. Once the scopes are accepted, the connection is complete.

The first sync starts immediately. Sync details and cadence: [Connecting an HRIS](/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/connecting-an-hris.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://www.cakewalk.security/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/identity-sources/google-workspace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
