Set Up the Connection

Syncing accounts from Google is a two-step process. Step 1 grants our application access in the Google Developer Console. Step 2 creates a token that allows us to fetch user data from Google and requires authorization from a Google Admin’s account.

Warning

You must be a Google Administrator and you must use your Google Administrator account to perform the steps below.

Step 1

Before you can sync your Google domain with MyVideoSpot, you will need to allow API permissions. First, login to the Google Admin console: https://admin.google.com.

After login, follow these steps:

  1. Once logged in to your admin account, click Security and select API controls under Access and Data Control from the left menu.
    First Step
  2. Click the MANAGE THIRD-PARTY APP ACCESS link.
  3. Click the Configure new app dropdown and select OAuth App Name or Client ID.
  4. Search for MyVRSpot Directory and click Select.
  5. Click the checkbox for both entries and click SELECT.
    Step 5
  6. Select the Trusted radio button, and then click CONFIGURE.

Step 2

  1. Log into your District Admin account on MyVideoSpot. (Note: If you are a Sandbox user, login here instead: https://live.myvrspot.com/site/sandbox-login) Click on the Administrator Tools icon (toolbox) in the top menu. Select the Setup Google Provisioning button.
  1. Click the Open Google Authorization Page button.
  1. Select your Google Administrator account and allow MyVRSpot Directory to access your Google account:
    Step 2.3
  2. If the token was created successfully you will get a success message.  We highly recommend that you click the View All Google Org Units button.  This will display all the Organizational Units that we can use to provision account:
    Step 2.4
  3. Once this has been completed, you, or any District Administrator, can build your provisioning jobs by following the instructions in the next section.

    • The Usertype selects which Access Level those users will have in MyVRSpot/MyVideoSpot
