Part 4: Syncing Users and Devices

  1. Configure Sync Options:

    • Choose your preferred sync and tagging configurations based on your organisation's needs. Leave tagging disabled if not required.

  1. Configure Tag Sync Options (Optional):

    • None: No organisational tags will be imported from Google Workspace into Mobile Guardian.
    • Apply a tag for each level of the OU structure: Creates tags corresponding to every level of your Google Workspace Organisational Unit (OU) hierarchy.
    • Apply a tag for the final level of the OU structure only: Creates tags using only the lowest-level OU in your Google Workspace tree.
    • Apply a single tag for the OU structure only: Creates a tag based on the top-level OU of your Google Workspace hierarchy.

  1. Select User OUs and Roles:

    • Select the relevant user OUs to sync from Google Workspace to Mobile Guardian.
    • Assign appropriate administrative or employee roles to the users being imported.

  1. Select Device OUs:

    • Select the Device OUs containing the enterprise Chromebooks you plan to manage. Ensure all relevant hardware is assigned to these OUs in Google Admin Console.

  1. Save Changes:

    • Review your settings and click Save Changes in the bottom-right corner.

  1. Execute Sync:

    • Click Sync Now for both Users and Devices.

Wait for each sync process to complete before starting another. Progress notifications will appear in the top-right corner of the dashboard.

OR

  • Automated Sync (Optional): Alternatively, enable background sync to automatically update users and devices according to a defined time schedule and frequency.

  1. Verify Synced Data:
