Google Workspace Settings

To store Google Drive files outside of Google Workspace, you must apply Google Workspace settings and configure them in Conga CLM. This section describes Google Workspace settings such as creating a project, enabling APIs, creating a service account, obtaining JSON credentials for your service account, and creating a shared drive. The service account credentials are used to store and retrieve files in Google Drive. You must first set up a Google Cloud Platform project and enable the Google Docs API. For more information on service accounts, see Service accounts overview.

Prerequisites

  • The organization has a shared Google Drive to store all contracts and templates.
  • CLM users have at least read-level access to the shared drive.
  • A Google Workspace Service Account has been established.

To create a project

  2. Click the Menu () icon, then go to IAM & Admin > Create a Project.
  3. In the Project name field, enter a project name.
  4. (Optional) To edit the Project ID, click Edit.
    Note:

    You cannot change the project ID after the project is created, so choose an ID that meets your requirements for the lifetime of the project.

  5. To add the project to a folder, In the Location field, click Browse to display locations for your project. Then click Select
  6. Click Create to open the Google Cloud Dashboard page.
    Note:

    By default, only the creator of the project has the right to manage the project. To ensure the project can be maintained if the creator leaves the organization, assign at least one other person the Project Owner role.

  3. Click Create service account.
  4. Enter a name for the service account in the Service account details field. You can also enter a brief description of the service account.

    By default, Google creates a unique service account ID. You can modify the ID in the "Service account ID" field.

  5. Click Create and Continue.
  6. Assign a role to your service account in the Grant this service account access to project (optional) field. For example, for Google Docs API, you can use the Editor role or create a custom role with the required permissions.
