Connector Overview

File Access Manager Connector for Google Drive uses the following Google APIs:

• Google Drive Activities API and Google Reports API for event monitoring

• Google Drive API for resource crawling and permissions collection

• Google Admin SDK (Directory API) for domain identities (users, groups, and so on)

Google APIs are accessed via a Service Account, defined within the scope of the customer’s Google Apps Domain. The Service Account has Domain-wide delegation permission so that it can impersonate domain users and access their Google Drive activities and data.
