Quick start for admins
The fastest path from nothing to a working directory on your team's phones, in five steps.
Each step links to the page that explains it. Most admins finish in under half an hour.
- Connect your Google Workspace. Create a read-only service account, authorise it, paste its key into Workspace Sync and run the first sync. The setup guide remembers where you stopped.
- Decide who gets the app. Open Contacts and turn on App access for the people who should have it. Shared mailboxes, service accounts and external collaborators stay off. See App access and directory visibility.
- Choose which fields are shared. Turn off anything you don’t want on employees’ phones, addresses for example. See Choose which fields are shared.
- Invite your team. Ask people to install the app and sign in with their work Google account. Send them the team quick start; it is one screen long.
- Check your plan. Five active users are free. If you turn on a sixth, you’ll be asked for a payment method. See Pricing and the free five.
Once connected, the directory keeps itself current. Optional extras when you’re ready: Groups and Walkie-Talkie.
