G-Suite API Scopes Update

As part of our Data Privacy Initiative at Mobile Guardian, we have made important changes to scale down the required scopes necessary when integrating your G-suite configuration with Us.

As part of this initiative, we have reduced the number of write scopes required when adding the G-suite configuration to Mobile Guardian. The only remaining write scopes are for the device action to disable or enable a device.

We request that you replace the existing API scopes on the Google Admin console with the new API scopes provided in this document. 

Important Note:  When these improvements are released you will need to ensure you have updated the API Scopes before your next planned Sync, otherwise your experience with Mobile Guardian could be negatively affected. The next Mobile Guardian release is scheduled for end of February.

Follow the steps to replace your existing scopes.

1. Log into your Google Admin console.

2. Navigate to Security > API Controls > Domain-wide delegation.

3. On the Domain-wide delegation screen search for the Mobile Guardian API Client and Click edit.

4. Remove all current scopes and replace with the following:

API Scopes for Device and User sync
