Sync from Google Groups

To search data from Google Groups, use the following steps to create a connector using the Google Cloud console.

Before you begin

  • You must be signed into the Google Cloud console with the same account that you use for the Google Workspace instance that you plan to connect. Agentspace Enterprise uses your Google Workspace customer ID to connect to Google Groups.

  • To enforce data source access control and secure data in Agentspace Enterprise, ensure that you have configured your identity provider.

  • If you use security controls, be aware of their limitations related to data in Google Groups, as discussed in the following table:

    Security control Note the following
    Data Residency (DRZ) Agentspace Enterprise only guarantees data residency in Google Cloud. For information about data residency and Google Groups, see Google Workspace compliance guidance and documentation—for example, Choose the region where data is stored and Digital sovereignty.
    Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) Your keys only encrypt data within Google Cloud. Cloud Key Management Service controls don't apply to data stored in Google Groups.
    Access Transparency Access Transparency logs actions taken by Google personnel on the Google Cloud project. You'll also need to review the Access Transparency logs created by Google Workspace. For more information, see Access Transparency log events in the Google Workspace Admin Help documentation.

To use the console to make Google Groups data searchable, follow these steps:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Agentspace page.
