Add FirstQuadrant as a trusted developer in Google Workspace
This helpdesk document provides a step-by-step guide for Google Workspace super admins on how to designate FirstQuadrant as a trusted third-party app. It walks through the process in the Google Admin console—from locating the API controls to entering the correct OAuth client ID and assigning trusted access. The guide clarifies that this action only allows FirstQuadrant to request access and does not grant any permissions by default.
Overview
To allow FirstQuadrant to request access to your Google Workspace data (such as Gmail, Calendar, or Contacts), your organization’s Google Workspace super admin must designate FirstQuadrant as a trusted developer. This setup does notgrant data access—it simply permits FirstQuadrant to initiate access requests in a separate user-controlled flow.

Important note
This step does not grant data access
Adding FirstQuadrant as a trusted app only enables it to request access. It does not grant any access by default. Users must still authorize data access individually in a separate flow.
Troubleshooting
Common issues and resolutions
- If “Configure new app” is not visible, verify that you are logged in as a super admin.
- Ensure the Client ID is pasted correctly without extra spaces or characters.
Once this is done, your users can begin integrating their Google accounts with FirstQuadrant through the app interface.
