UMS integrates to G Suite with the module G Suite Sync which:

  • Creates users and their e-mail accounts
  • Maintains users in G Suite, i.e. data changes are synchronised to UMS
  • Synchronises passwords
  • Deletes users who no longer attend the school

Integration to G Suite quickly becomes profitable. With UMS, the school saves resources by automating many manual tasks

  • Avoid having to program scripts to synchronise the data
  • Users are automatically created with data from your student administration system
  • It reduces the workload for the IT-department

FAQ

Why do I not get the drive/site created?

1.      Activity

a.     Is there a user on the activity with a primary template that has an office 365 setting attached

b.     Is the flag Aktivitet_LMS = True

2.     Course

a.     Is there a user on the course with a primary template that has an office 365 setting attached

CreateGroups Error

Not Authorized to access this resource/api [403]

Errors [ Message[Not Authorized to access this resource/api] Location[ - ] Reason[forbidden] Domain[global]

The reason why that error occurs is that the mail adr. is used by another group or user. Test by manually creating a group in google admin portal. The image below shows the error.

To correct this error: create a USER with the same email address and then delete it again. After this, it will be possible to create the Group.
