For the following setup, it's recommended to perform it in a browser where you're just logged into the Google account you are using for configuring GSuite.
Other Google sessions might make it hard for you to walk through the setup successfully, especially when authorizing the Gsuite app from inside the connector configuration.

This page contains information for how to setup User Sync and G Suite. Note, it is recommend to follow the video or the detailed User guide. If you are familiar with setting up G Suite projects, feel free to follow the Quick start guide.
