Activating G Suite Cloud Applications

SonicWall Cloud App Security only supports G Suite Business and G Suite Enterprise accounts. When you attempt to activate a non-business Google account for SonicWall Cloud App Security, the activation will fail with the error message, “This app isn't verified”.

If you plan to assign Cloud App Security licenses to only a specific set of G Suite users, create the G Suite group before activating your G Suite cloud applications for Cloud App Security. After initial cloud application activation, the cloud application onboarding process may take up to 12 hours.

Adding new users to the G Suite group later may result in delay in synchronizing the licensed users with both systems. For more information, refer to Managing Cloud App Security Licenses

To activate G Suite cloud applications for Cloud App Security

1. Navigate to either the:
   • SaaS Selection page (during initial setup and configuration).
   • Cloud App Store page.
2. Click Start on the tile for the G Suite cloud application you want activate.

3. When prompted, log into your Google business account.

   

   Only G Suite Business and G Suite Enterprise accounts are supported by SonicWallCloud App Security.

4. Click Next.

5. Select your Google account.

   

6. On the G Suite Marketplace, click the Domain Install button on the upper right of the page to install SonicWall Cloud App Security.

   Click Done to continue.

10. Click Start on the tile for the G Suite cloud application you want to configure.

11. On the Gmail groups selection or Google Drive groups selection page:

    

    • Select All Organization if you want to assign Cloud App Security licenses to all of the users in your organization.

    • Select Specific Group/s if you want to assign Cloud App Security licenses to only a specific G Suite group in your organization. Using Group Filters is the most effective way to manage you Cloud App Security licenses for a specific subset of users within your organization.

      

      Licenses are assigned in alphabetical order.

      • If the number of users exceeds the number of available licenses, all user licenses will be assigned in alphabetical order by the system automatically. You can manually unassign users in order to free up licenses.
      • If the number of licenses exceeds the number of users, the remaining licenses will remain unassigned. Any new users added to the group will be assigned from the available license pool.

      Refer to Managing Cloud App Security Licenses for more information.

      Enter the name of the G Suite group to which you want to assign the licenses.

      Only one group is supported for G Suite cloud applications at this time. If you enter more than one group, an error message is displayed.

    You can change this setting later, if you needed, on the Configuration > Cloud App Store page. Refer to Managing Cloud App Security Licenses for more information.

    If you add users to the G Suite group later, it may take up to 12 hours for the user licenses to synchronize between the systems. For more information, refer to Managing Cloud App Security Licenses.

    • For email messages: previous 5 days
    • For cloud storage: previous 7 days

If you have only activated one G Suite cloud application at this time, you will not need to reauthorize SonicWall Cloud App Security again when you activate any additional G Suite cloud applications.
