Setting Up

For Turngate to access the audit logs, you must authorize us to query the Audit API using Google's Admin SDK. You must do this with a user account that has authorization to grant these permissions on your Google Workspaces account. If you’re not an admin for your Google instance, invite your admin on the User Administration page.

You can review or revoke this access at any time within your Google Account Security & Privacy Settings

Setting up the Google Data Source in the Turngate App

Google setup uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. To set up, you'll only need to click install from within the Turngate app and proceed through the Authorization prompts to authorize Turngate to access your audit logs. It is important to check the box for "Select All" when Google prompts you to select what Turngate can access.
