  1. Create a service account for Opal
    For Opal to manage your Google Workspace on your behalf, you'll need to create a Google service account with proper permission scopes to retrieve role and user information. Follow the instructions for creating a service account here, and grant it the following scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user, 
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.rolemanagement
  1. Enable the Admin SDK API in Google.
    Please also enable the Admin SDK API in the project that the service account was created in.
  2. In Opal, when adding the service account information and credentials, ensure that the Admin User Email has the Super Admin Role in order for the service account to read role assignments.

Run app validation checks

After you save your app, you can view existing sync issues from the Setup tab on the app detail page. Missing permissions and sync issues show in the App Validations section. Select the refresh icon to rerun validation checks.

You can hover over the validation icons to learn why Opal needs a given permission. To correctly sync your app to Opal, ensure you address any sync errors, marked with the red ! icon. Inspect warnings on a case-by-case basis: warnings might impact features you’re not using and may be safely ignored, but this depends on your use case.
