The Google Workspace integration detects a variety of data loss prevention, account misconfiguration, and user security risks in an integrated Google Workspace account that could leave you and your organization vulnerable.

This integration covers the following Google Workspace products:

* [Gmail](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/gmail/)
* [Gmail (FedRAMP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/gmail-fedramp/)
* [Gemini for Google Workspace](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/gemini/)
* [Google Admin](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/google-admin/)
* [Google Calendar](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/google-calendar/)
* [Google Drive](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/google-drive/)
* [Google Admin (FedRAMP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/google-admin-fedramp/)
* [Google Calendar (FedRAMP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/google-calendar-fedramp/)
* [Google Drive (FedRAMP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/google-workspace/google-drive-fedramp/)

## Integration prerequisites

* A Google Workspace account with a Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus or Enterprise plan
* A Google Workspace user with [Super Admin privileges](https://support.google.com/a/answer/2405986) and [Owner permissions](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles) in the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project used

## Integration permissions

For the Google Workspace integration to function, Cloudflare CASB requires the following Google API permissions:

* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.domain.readonly`
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly`
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.security`
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar`
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform.read-only`
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly`
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.settings.basic`

These permissions follow the principle of least privilege to ensure that only the minimum required access is granted. To learn more about each permission, refer to the [Google Workspace Admin SDK Directory API](https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/guides/authorizing).

## Security findings

The Google Workspace integration currently scans for the following findings, or security risks. Findings are grouped by category and then ordered by [severity level](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/cloud-and-saas-findings/manage-findings/#severity-levels).
