Prerequisites

To install Skolons Lifecycle Management for Google, you will need the following in Skolon:

• Users, classes and groups in the Skolon Platform

• Email addresses in Skolon, either synced from your MIS or generated in Skolon.

  • Read more about email generation in Skolon in this article Email generation in Skolon

• A valid agreement with Skolon that covers the use of the Skolon Google LCM

You also need a Google Workspace for Education domain with a super admin account.

Google Connection Credentials

Skolon connects to your Google domain by using the Google Workspace API:s. To install the integration you need to create service account credentials in Google and share them with your Skolon representative. Skolon needs the following:

• A JSON key (credentials.json) generated as instructed in the following support article written by Google

• The email adress to the service account created in your Google environment

Organizational Units

Skolon generates and maintains organizational unit (OU) structures in the Google Admin Console. For each school, Skolon creates an OU for staff and separate OUs for each student class, ensuring that policies and settings can be applied correctly per role or group.

Upon installation Skolon will generate a new OU-structure within your Google-domain. It is possible to run the integration and generate OU’s without moving users as a first step.
