Adding google groups to roles

Question

I feel like I'm missing something here, looking at the documentation on roles for App Maker this shouldn't be an issue. Add members to roles

However after testing this with a couple of different groups one created through GCDS (Active Directory group sync) and the other manually created through the G Suite admin panel and populated with two users neither the first or second groups members can access the deployed app. Are there any additional options that need to be checked on the group or in App Maker?

As an example: Group added to app and role > User added to group > Error received

I have also tried allowing access for everyone in the domain and restricted creating records to the 'Accounting_Rep' role with the [email protected] group assigned to the role the record isn't created and I receive a permissions error in stackdriver logging. It seems like App Maker isn't seeing it as a group.

Answer 1

Most likely in Application access section you selected Only allow access to specific users option. In this case you need to explicitly add all users/groups you want App Maker to let in into the input box under the radio button group:
