How to enable Google groups

If you have enabled Google authentication, you can use Google groups to deploy and control access to printers based on users' group membership. You must have a Google Workspace administrator account.

Nested groups are not supported. Computer groups are not supported.

  1. On the Authentication page, select the Google tab.
  2. For Synchronize groups, select Accept.
  3. On the Sign in with Google page, sign in using your Google Workspace administrator account (john.smith@acme.com):

    • Enter your administrator account.

    • Enter Password.

  4. Select Next.

  5. You are prompted to allow Printix to:

    • View groups on your domain.

  6. Select Allow, so Printix can synchronize groups.

    If this is successful, you see: Groups synchronized from Google. If you select Accept again, it does a full synchronization (can take time!).
