are better together. That鈥檚 why the companies partnered to bring access control, identity, and device management to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that use Workspace. 探花大神 features a pre-built cloud directory sync that makes it possible for admins to automate user lifecycle and provisioning. This article outlines how the integration works and how it makes 鈥渟ingle pane of glass鈥� management a reality, backed by 探花大神鈥檚 frictionless authentication that secures access to every IT resource.
Integrating Workspace and 探花大神
The integration provides secure and consistent connectivity between 探花大神 and Workspace. IT admins can automatically provision new 探花大神 user accounts into Workspace and synchronize specified user attributes from 探花大神 to Google accounts. 探花大神 can be used to manage distribution groups in Workspace with dynamic groups automating group memberships.
Conversely, admins have the option to import users from Workspace into 探花大神 while keeping group membership and organizational unit management within Workspace. 探花大神 and Google provide optionality for admins to decide what the best solution is for their organization.
探花大神 can serve as the identity provider (IdP) and use groups to provide single sign-on (SSO) into web apps using SAML and OAuth. It manages access to other on-prem IT resources such as Wi-Fi networks and network appliances using the LDAP and RADIUS protocols. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is environment wide with options for modern, passwordless authentication as well as targeted for your privileged users. 探花大神 has the added benefit of deploying cross-OS device management via groups, ensuring that unmanaged devices can鈥檛 access your resources, including Workspace.
It all begins by configuring cloud directory sync.
Technical Resources
The following articles instruct admins on how to successfully integrate Workspace and 探花大神.
Advanced Lifecycle Management
Let鈥檚 presume that you鈥檝e integrated Workspace with 探花大神鈥檚 open directory platform. You鈥檙e now ready to reap the benefits of this integration by streamlining identity lifecycle management. Lifecycle management ensures quick, accurate provisioning of users to resources while maintaining mature entitlements management. That鈥檚 possible because 探花大神 and Google both use dynamic groups that leverage user attributes to automate group memberships. 探花大神 can also import attributes from other sources such as your HR systems.
Workspace Distribution Group and Service Assignments
Workspace uses distribution groups to manage communication and collaboration such as:
- Leverage group aliases for email distribution
- Invite all group members to video conferences
- Restrict sharing content to members such as calendars, documents, sites, and videos
- Collaborate using Google Groups
探花大神鈥檚 dynamic groups can propagate distribution group memberships in Workspace and grant specific permissions to ensure confidentiality. Memberships can be partially or fully or directly assigned by admins. 探花大神, serving as the IdP, provides SSO to all Workspace resources (and beyond) with MFA and/or optional access policies.
探花大神 includes a decentralized password manager to create, store, and protect credentials.
Devices as a Gateway
Your Google identity becomes your new perimeter. 探花大神 couples identity and access management (IAM) with device management for Android, Apple, Linux, and Windows endpoints. Device postures and dynamic groups provide (and secure) access to your resources, which helps admins at SMEs to adopt and implement simplified Zero Trust security strategies.
- 探花大神 provides agentless approaches for Android devices through Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) and mobile device management (MDM), respectively. Apple devices can even be provisioned via zero-touch enrollment. Windows MDM is also available now to provide a self-service device onboarding workflow using the latest device enrollment and management capabilities offered by Microsoft.
- Agents execute pre-built policy templates and root-level commands for Apple, Linux, and Mac endpoint security and compliance. 探花大神 collects telemetry that can be processed into curated reports, and is aggregated by 探花大神鈥檚 tool. The agent makes it possible to include unlimited through the 探花大神 admin portal as well as optional OS and browser .
- Optional conditional access policies deploy certificates to ensure that only managed devices are capable of accessing your most valuable resources.
