Step 2: Discover and Import Users

Once a successful connection is established, Password Vault for Enterprises retrieves users, groups, and Organizational Units from the configured Google Workspace tenant.

  • The Users tab can be used to locate and import specific users directly from Google Workspace.
  • Once discovery is complete, review the users and groups that will be imported and select the role that should be assigned to them within Password Vault for Enterprises.
  • Specify the user role to be applied for the users / groups being imported. To know more about user roles, click \.
  • If required, use Advanced Settings to further customize authentication and import behaviour.
  • After reviewing the configuration, click Import to complete the import process.
