G Suite Admin OAuth Integration

Connect G Suite Admin to your application without building and maintaining the OAuth flow.

G Suite Admin gives access to Google Workspace administration data such as users and groups. Each user connects their own G Suite Admin account through your OAuth app. Pathfix manages the authorization flow, stores and refreshes their tokens, and authenticates the requests your application makes to the G Suite Admin API. What your integration does with that access is up to your code.

How Pathfix helps

  • 01

    OAuth authorization

    Pathfix runs the authorization flow with your G Suite Admin OAuth app, so users approve access on Google’s own consent screen.

  • 02

    Token management

    Each user’s access and refresh tokens are stored by Pathfix rather than in your application.

  • 03

    Token refresh

    Where G Suite Admin issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.

  • 04

    Authenticated API passthrough

    Your application sends G Suite Admin API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to G Suite Admin.

You own the G Suite Admin OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.

How to get started

  1. 1

    Register your app with Google

    Create an app in Google’s developer settings to get a Client ID and Client Secret. When asked for a redirect URI, enter https://labs.pathfix.com/integrate/command.

  2. 2

    Add the credentials in Pathfix

    In your Pathfix account, add an application, select G Suite Admin from the providers and enter the Client ID and Client Secret.

  3. 3

    Choose your scopes

    Add only the scopes your integration needs. Google’s developer documentation lists what each scope allows.

  4. 4

    Test the connection

    Use Test Connection to connect an account in the API Playground and run a sample call.

  5. 5

    Let your users authorize

    Add the connect step to your app. Each user signs in to G Suite Admin and approves the scopes you requested.

  6. 6

    Call the G Suite Admin API

    Send requests through the Pathfix passthrough API using the provider reference googleadmindirectory.
