Sync users from Google Workspace to Apple School Manager
You can import users from Google Workspace into Apple School Manager. When this occurs, you merge Apple School Manager properties (such as year level and 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 is not supported.
Google Workspace user accounts and Apple School Manager
When a user is synced from Google Workspace to Apple School Manager, the default role is Student. After the sync is complete, the following user attributes can be edited:
roles
academic year level
Student Information System (SIS) username
These attributes are stored with the user account in Apple School Manager and are not written back to Google Workspace.
Before you begin
Before you begin, you must do the following:
Disconnect from your Student Information System (SIS) or stop uploads using SFTP.
Configure and turn on federated authentication. See Turn on and test federated authentication.
