Resolve Google Super Admin errors

Overview

The Incydr Google Drive data connection must be authorized by a Super Admin in your Google Workspace. If the Google Super Admin username you entered during authorization does not exist, cannot be found, or is not a Super Admin, monitoring stops and an error appears in the data connection's details. This article helps you resolve the error and return the data connection to the Monitoring state.

Affects

This problem affects Google Drive data connections. When you authorize Incydr's connection to your Google Drive environment, you enter the username for a Google Super Admin. If this username does not exist, cannot be found, or is not a Super Admin, the following message appears in the data connection's details:

There was an issue with the connection to Google Drive. Code42/Incydr is not monitoring activity.

The Google Super Admin specified during authorization does not exist or was not found.

Deauthorize and resume monitoring this data connector to resolve the issue. When you resume monitoring, provide a valid Google Super Admin email address.

Log in to your Google Admin console and verify:

• The spelling and format of the Google Super Admin username you want to use to authorize Incydr's connection
