Summary
Automating Google Workspace security tasks using Tines involves leveraging OAuth 2.0 with a service account to streamline the management of domain resources such as users and groups. By enabling the Admin SDK, creating a service account, and configuring domain-wide delegation in the Google Workspace admin console, security teams can efficiently manage access and automate workflows. Tines uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to authenticate and authorize actions, allowing for secure interactions with Google APIs. This setup facilitates tasks like fetching access tokens and retrieving user data, ultimately enhancing the automation capabilities of a company's security program through seamless integration with Google Workspace.
