Creating the asset integration

Creating custom mappings

Before you start

The Google Workspace Chrome Devices asset load retrieves a list of Chrome OS devices within an account.

The Google Workspace Chrome devices  API uses OAuth2-based authentication. Instructions on how to set up an OAuth2 App and add your credentials to the Oomnitza vault can be found here: Adding Google (OAuth 2.0) credentials.

When creating these credentials, the following scope is required:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.device.chromeos

For more information see Google API Documentation: chromeosdevices.list
