Managing your Google Directory integration ensures that the Cloud Identity Engine
retains valid access to the organizational units, users, and groups defined in your
Google Workspace. If the connection status indicates a failure or becomes inactive,
you must reconnect the directory by re-authenticating with your Google Admin
credentials and testing the connection to restore synchronization.
To stop synchronization and remove the directory entirely, you must perform a
two-step revocation process to ensure security. Once access is blocked at the
source, you can safely remove the Google Directory from the Cloud Identity Engine
application.
Reconnect Google Directory
If the connection between the Cloud Identity
Engine and your Google Directory is inactive, reconnect the Google
Directory to the Cloud Identity Engine.
Log in to the hub and select the Cloud Identity
Engine tenant that contains the Google Directory you want to reconnect.
Select
Directories.
Select .
Log in to Google and

Optional)
Customize Directory Name if you want
to change the name that the Cloud Identity Engine displays for this directory in
your tenant.
You can use up to 15 lowercase alphanumeric
characters (including hyphens, periods, and underscores) for the directory
name in the Cloud Identity Engine. You don't need to change the name of the
directory itself, only the name of the directory in the Cloud Identity
Engine app. If your directory name contains more than 15 characters, you
must change the directory name to contain a maximum of 15 characters.
