13.94. 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 will be asked to allow Printix to:
   • View groups on your domain.

6. Select Allow, so Printix can synchronize groups.
   If this is successful you will see: Groups synchronized from Google. If you select Accept again, it will do a full synchronization (can take time!).

Troubleshooting

Could not verify group synchronization

• The account you used to sign in with was not a Google Workspace administrator account.
  RESOLUTION: On the Sign in with Google page sign in using your Google Workspace administrator account.

The Groups page does not load any groups

• Only groups added to print queues will appear.
  RESOLUTION: Add groups to a print queue.
