1295 - How to set up permission for Redstor backups in Google

To back up your Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) data with Redstor, you will need to add Redstor to your organisation's security settings in Google. This will give Redstor the necessary permission to back up your organisation's Google services.

Note: We recommend performing these steps in a Google Chrome browser.

How to set up permission 

1. Log into the Google Admin Console and go to Security.

2. Go to App access control.

3. Click on Manage domain wide delegation.

4. Click on Add new.

5. In the Client ID field, enter the following ID: 111948764040905708280.

In the OAuth scopes field, enter the following scopes:

profile,
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly,
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly,
