By establishing a Google Security Group connection with SigParser, your IT administrator can connect mailboxes in your organization automatically.
The mailbox owners do not need to create SigParser accounts or manually connect their mailboxes. You can add or remove mailboxes from your Google Cloud Console.
Recommended for connecting 10+ mailboxes.
To Start
You must have access to the following:
A SigParser account. Either create an account or have access to your organization’s SigParser account with the permissions needed to add users and connect mailboxes.
Admin access for your organization’s Google Cloud Console
Admin access to your organization’s Admin Center
A list of the email addresses you wish to connect and scan in SigParser
Use the instructions page in SigParser to copy/paste the necessary values.
If you need additional support, you can schedule a help session HERE. Have the above items configured prior to your scheduled call.
