Connect WorkSights to Google Workspace

WorkSights connects to your organization’s Google Workspace through OAuth 2.0. This allows WorkSights to import users and process activity data securely without storing passwords or modifying any data inside your Google environment.

Admin Access Required

Only a Google Workspace administrator can complete the setup. Admin consent is needed to grant WorkSights the read-only scopes required for user imports and activity processing.

Before You Begin

Make sure:

• You are signed in with a Google Workspace admin account
• Pop-ups are enabled in your browser (OAuth opens in a new window)
• You have access to your organization’s Google Admin Console in case permissions need to be reviewed later

How to Connect Google Workspace

Step 1 – Start Sign-In

Click Sign Up with Google on the WorkSights sign-up page. WorkSights redirects you to Google for authentication.

Step 2 – Select Your Organization Account

Choose your Google Workspace administrator account when prompted.

Step 3 – Review Permissions

Google displays the permissions requested by WorkSights. These are secure, read-only scopes required for:

• Audit activity metadata
• Calendar metadata (event titles and times only)
• Directory users (for import)

Click Allow to proceed.

Step 4 – Confirm Setup in WorkSights

Once consent is granted, WorkSights creates your workspace and begins the initial user import automatically.

If You’re Not an Admin

You can begin sign-up, but permissions will not be applied. WorkSights will notify you that admin approval is required.

Once a Google Workspace admin completes the setup, your account will automatically appear inside your company's WorkSights workspace.

Security & Privacy

WorkSights integrates with Google using OAuth 2.0, the same framework Google uses for its own applications.

• Permissions are strictly read-only
• WorkSights never stores or manages your Google password
• WorkSights never edits content in Google Workspace

You can revoke access anytime in:

‍Google Admin Console → Security → API Controls → App Access Control

Next Steps

After completing sign-up:

1. Your company workspace is created.

2. Continue to Account Setup to define company details.

3. Proceed to User Setup to import members and assign roles.
