28 Google Apps Technical Transition Guide

Early Adopters

Begin provisioning users

You begin provisioning user accounts for your entire company during this phase, even

though only your early adopters begin living on Google Apps. Provisioning the

majority of your users during this phase has the following advantages:

• Employees have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with Google Apps

before they begin living on it.

• In larger companies, provisioning users early helps prevent bottlenecks later on.

The recommended process for provisioning Google Apps users depends on your

legacy system.

Provisioning users from an LDAP server

Level of Effort: Moderate

If your legacy system stores user data on an LDAP server, such as Microsoft Active

Directory or Lotus Domino, you can automatically provision users, groups, and non-

employee contacts in Google Apps from that data with the Google Apps Directory

Sync (GADS) tool. GADS dynamically adds and deletes user accounts in Google

Apps to match your legacy system’s organizational schema.

• Read Google Apps Directory Sync, along with the GADS Administration

Guide, to learn about installing and using GADS.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you use GADS to provision your users in

Google Apps if your company uses a compatible LDAP server.

Provisioning users from other sources

Level of Effort: High

If your user data is not stored in an LDAP server that is compatible with GADS, you

can provision users from your user store with the Google Apps provisioning API.

This is the same API that GADS uses behind the scenes to provision Google Apps

users. The provisioning API is provided as a RESTful web service with convenient

wrappers for several languages, including Java and Python.

• Read the Google Apps Provisioning API Developer’s Guide to learn about

using the provisioning API.
