After you enter your login details, you will receive a prompt to authorize Google to access your data per their Terms of Service.

Step 7: Import users

If you have chosen to allow access to import users from Google, you will see an option to import Google users into your BambooHR account. Importing users will result in the following actions:

  1. Create new employee profiles: If a user does not already exist in BambooHR, importing them from Google will result in the creation of a new employee profile populated with the user's first name, last name, and work email address. You can select whether to enable the user's access to BambooHR or leave their access disabled.
  2. Update existing employee access: If a user already exists within BambooHR and their access is currently disabled, they will appear on the import page. You can choose to assign them to a specific access level and enable their access from the import page.

Step 8: Confirm the addition of BambooHR users

A new window will appear for confirming the app installation, along with users from the previous screen imported as employees into BambooHR (shows up in your access level user list). 

You can import additional Google users in the future using the +Add Google Users button.

Step 9: G Suite Marketplace access

Users can access BambooHR by clicking on the Google action menu and selecting BambooHR at the bottom. Being logged into Google automatically logs the user in to their BambooHR account.

Step 10: Manage the BambooHR app

Within Google Admin, click Marketplace apps and select the BambooHR icon. You will then have the ability to adjust the app settings.
