Google Suite
Before you begin:
You must have Google Super Admin privilege in the target domain and the integration user must be provisioned with a GSuite license.
Google Suite Licenses
Cloudlock primarily works with Google Drive and therefore supports only the Enterprise license.
In the Google Admin Console, ensure these settings are in effect for Google Drive:
- Google Drive must be set to on for everyone (Apps settings)
- Data access must be set to Granted (Apps settings)
- API Access must be enabled (Security settings)
- Allow users to install Google Drive applications (Security settings)
Browser Settings for Installation
To enable the installation process to complete successfully, private browsing modes and popup and ad blockers in your browser must be temporarily disabled. If you see the message “An error occurred while activating the platform”, make sure you are not using the Firefox "private browsing mode", and that any popup or ad blockers have been turned off; these cannot be used during installation.
