Inheritance of Google Workspace entitlements based on categories
In One Identity Manager, user accounts can selectively inherit entitlements. To do this, entitlements, and user accounts are divided into categories. The categories can be freely selected and are specified using a mapping rule. Each category is given a specific position within the template. The mapping rule contains different tables. Use the user account table to specify categories for target system dependent user accounts. In the other tables, enter your categories for the permissions. Each table contains the category positions position 1 to position 63.
Every user account can be assigned to one or more categories. Each entitlement can also be assigned to one or more categories. If at least one of the category positions between the user account and the assigned entitlement is the same, the entitlement is inherited by the user account. If the entitlement or the user account is not classified in a category, the entitlement is also inherited by the user account.
NOTE: Inheritance through categories is only taken into account when entitlements are assigned indirectly through hierarchical roles. Categories are not taken into account when entitlements are directly assigned to user accounts.

Mapping of Google Workspace objects in One Identity Manager
You use One Identity Manager to manage all customer objects that are required for optimizing access control in the target system. These objects are imported into the One Identity Manager database during synchronization. You cannot display or edit their properties in the Manager.
Google Workspace customers
The target system for the synchronizing Google Workspace is the primary domain of a Google Workspace customer. Google Workspace customers are created as base objects for the synchronization in One Identity Manager. They are used for the configuration of provisioning processes, the automatic assignment of employees to user accounts, and the passing on of Google Workspace entitlements to user accounts.
