Sync users from Google Workspace to Apple Business Manager
You can import users from Google Workspace into Apple Business Manager. When this occurs, you merge Apple Business Manager properties (such as roles) with user account data imported from Google Workspace. The account information is added as read-only until you turn off syncing. At that time, the accounts become manual accounts, and attributes in these accounts can then be edited. The initial sync takes longer to perform than subsequent cycles.
Note: Syncing user groups isn’t supported.
Google Workspace user accounts and Apple Business Manager
When a user is synced from Google Workspace to Apple Business Manager, the default role is Staff. After the sync is complete, only the Roles user attribute can be edited. This attribute is stored with the user account in Apple Business Manager and isn’t written back to Google Workspace.
