Important: Due to Google’s change in allowing Domo connectors to use OAuth authentication, all users must now use service account key authentication to create new data connections. All pre-existing DataSets will continue to run normally. Current Connectors that rely on Google OAuth authentication will no longer be able to power up new DataSets. These connectors include the following:If you need to change a pre-existing Google OAuth DataSet, please use the corresponding Service Account connector. The following Service Account connectors are now available:All other equivalent Google Service Account connectors are currently in development. Domo will communicate when these connectors become available. You will need to look for the Service Account equivalent connector in Data Center or the App Store and use that connector to get their data.Domo recommends that you proactively repower existing Google connections by creating new DataSets utilizing the new Service Account Key connectors as the connectors become available. Domo will notify you if any further migration changes should arise.

Intro

To learn more about Google’s Reports API, visit their page (https://developers.google.com/admin-…/v1/reference/ ). You can connect to the Google Admin SDK Reports Connector OAuth in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Google Admin SDK Reports Connector OAuth user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.

​
Prerequisites

To connect to Google and create a Google Admin SDK Reports Connector OAuth DataSet, you must have a Google username and password.

​
Connecting to Your Google Admin SDK Reports Connector OAuth Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Google Admin SDK Reports Connector OAuth page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.

​
Credentials Pane

The Domo Google Admin SDK Reports Connector OAuth uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Google Admin SDK Reports Connector OAuth accounts in Domo) to open the Google OAuth screen where you can enter your Google username and password. Once you have entered valid Google credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Google Admin SDK Reports Connector OAuth DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Manage Connector Accounts.
Note: If you are already logged into Google when you connect in Domo, you are authenticated automatically when you click Add account. If you want to connect to an account that is different from the one you are logged into, you must first log out of Google.
