Manage G Suite Users
OVERVIEW
When an Okta end user is assigned to Google Apps or when their assignments are updated, admins have the option to manage all Google licenses and roles, and deprovisioning actions, within Okta. Additionally, this Okta end user's licenses and roles can be automatically updated within their 3rd-party Google account. This is true Individually or within a group. In essence, any updates created in Okta can be subsequently pushed to Google.
PREREQUISITES
Before you use this option, you must do the following:
-
Have Google Apps provisioning enabled in Okta and enable the appropriate provisioning features (Create users, Update User Attributes, Deactivate Users).
-
Un-check Auto-assign the following license to all currently unassigned users and users subsequently created:
PROCEDURES

When Okta end users are assigned, or changed in the Universal Directory Profile Editor, choosing true allows any changes in their Google license(s) to be automatically pushed to Google. Choosing false does not push any information.
-
In Okta, select the Assignments tab for your G Suite instance, select a User or Group, then click Edit.
-
Select true from the Manage licenses on create update drop-down menu.
-
Click the appropriate check-boxes to assign the license(s) to the selected User or Group.
Caution: Only certain groups of Google licenses can be individually selected, as some groups provide mutually exclusive options. For example: You can assign only one license selection at a time for Google Apps and Google Drive. Choosing more than one results in an error on the Tasks page, and only the first selection is honored.
Note that you also have the option to Remove all G Suite licenses for the selected User or Group under Deactivation options on the Edit User/Group Assignment screen.

Note: Customers need to contact Okta Support to migrate their Universal Directory profile template to enable this feature.
-
In Okta, select the Assignments tab for your G Suite instance, select a User or Group, then click Edit.
-
Select true from the Manage roles on create and update drop-down menu.
-
Click the appropriate check-boxes to assign the Role to the selected User or Group.
Note that you also have the option to Remove all G Suite Roles for the selected User or Group under Deactivation options on the Edit User/Group Assignment screen.

Deactivating a Google Apps User
When you need to deprovision or deactivate an Okta user from Google Apps, you can do so without compromising the user's Google account. Control this element under Deactivation options on the Edit User Assignments screen.
If options are left unchecked, the user is suspended in Okta and in their corresponding Google account. See details about these options below.
Deactivation options are:
-
Do not suspend user: Checking this box prevents the user's account from being suspended in Google after deprovisioning in Okta. The user's Google account remains active.
-
Remove all G Suite licenses: Checking this box insures that, when deprovisioned, Google licenses for this user no longer exist in Okta.
-
Remove all G Suite Roles: Checking this box insures that, when deprovisioned, Google roles for this user no longer exist in Okta.
License Mapping
We have recently updated GSuite licenses for our GSuite provisioning integration. In order to use updated licenses, you need to contact Okta Support and request that they migrate your GSuite application instance to the new profile template.
Due to some limitations, there is a slight difference in license naming, so we have provided the license mapping table below:
Note that we have plans to update these outdated names for licenses in the nearest future.
