Google Admin SDK Reports Service Connector

Important: Due to Google’s change in allowing Domo connectors to use OAuth authentication, all users must now use service account key authentication to create new data connections. To create new Google Admin SDK Reports DataSets, use this connector. All pre-existing Google Admin SDK Reports DataSets will continue to run normally.

Intro

To learn more about Google's Reports API, visit their page (https://developers.google.com/admin-.../v1/reference/).

You connect to Google Admin SDK Reports in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Google Admin SDK Reports connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to a Google service account, you must have a Google service account JSON key. To generate a key, do the following:

In the GCP Console, open the IAM & Admin page.
Click Service accounts in the left-hand navigation pane.
Select your project and click Open.
Click Create Service Account.
Enter a name and description for the service account.
Click Create.
Select Project Owner.
Click Continue.
Click Create key.
Select JSON as the key type.
Click Create.

A private key will be saved to your computer.

Connecting to Your Google Admin SDK Reports Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Google Admin SDK Reports Service Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to a Google service account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field	Description
Service Account Key JSON	Copy and paste the JSON for your Google service account key. For information about creating a key, see "Prerequisites," above.

Once you have entered a valid key, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Google Admin SDK Reports Service DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with other menus for selecting your timeframe.

Description

Report

Select the Google Admin SDK Reports report you want to run. The following reports are available:

Customer Usage	Returns Google Apps service activities for the account's users.
Google Admin Activity	Returns information about Admin Console activities for all of the account's administrators.
Google Drive Activity	Returns information about how the account's users manage, modify, and share their Google Drive documents.
User Usage	Returns Google Apps service activities for the account's users. (Data for some dates may be left blank until it becomes available.)

Duration

Select whether you want to pull data for a specific date or a date range.

Report Date

Select whether the report data is for a specific date or for a relative number of days back from today.

Select Specific Date

Select the date for the report.

Days Back

Enter the number of past days that should appear in the report.

Start Date

Specify whether the first date in your date range is a specific or relative date. You select the last date in your range in End Date.

End Date

Specify whether the second date in your date range is a specific or relative date. You select the first date in your range in Start Date.

Select Specific Start Date

Select the first date in your date range.

Select Specific End Date

Select the second date in your date range.

Days Back to Start From

Enter the number of the farthest day back that should be represented in the report. Combine with Days Back to End At to create a range of represented days.

For example, if you entered 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At, the report would contain data for 10 days ago up until 5 days ago.

Days Back to End At

Enter the number of the most recent day back that should be represented in the report. Combine with Days Back to Start From to create a range of represented days.

For example, if you entered 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At, the report would contain data for 10 days ago up until 5 days ago.
