The Drive SDK API authorization is essential to help Securly access the Google Docs on the school’s Google Drive. We recently updated the API permissions to automate channel creation or deactivation when:
1. Users are removed/ deleted
2. Users are moved from OU 1 to OU 2
To get to where this new authorization needs to be placed, simply authenticate to your Google Admin Console as a Super Admin. Click on Security - then API Controls - then Manage Domain Wide Delegation. Here one should see an existing API Client labeled with a title you selected to identify the Securly Auditor service. Once you've identified the API Client for Securly, hover over that entry and select Edit.
This just requires an additional entry in the ‘OAuth scopes’ field: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user
Add the above string as shown in the screenshot below.
Make sure you have all the entries in there as specified here -
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user
Note: You need to do this only if you are already using Auditor for scanning Google Drive. If you just getting started with us, you are covered. Check out this KB for the complete installation process.
