Directory management

This is one of the most important sections of the entire chapter. We will learn how to configure identity provisioning, in particular, how to integrate Microsoft Active Directory (AD) with Google Cloud Identity using the GCDS tool. We will look at some other directory management tasks, such as how to create users and groups and assign admin permissions and how we can provision and de-provision user access using Google Cloud Identity and third-party IdPs. Finally, we will have a look at how to automate user lifecycle management.

Google Cloud Directory Sync

This section will be a deep dive into GCDS. We will start by understanding what GCDS is, the benefits of using it, how it works, and how to configure it using Configuration Manager.

GCDS helps you to synchronize your Microsoft AD or LDAP objects, such as security users and groups, to your Google Cloud Identity account.
