Connect Google Workspace with PostgreSQL

Integrating Google Workspace with PostgreSQL allows you the ability to provide access in PostgreSQL’s databases and schemas according to users and groups from Okta.

The difficulty is in integrating the IDP’s authentication and authorization mechanisms with the database. This typically involves intricate mapping of IDP groups to database roles or permissions, ensuring that only authorized users can access the database. So, it’s important to have a functioning Okta environment before attempting to integrate it with any database.

Connecting Apono with Okta allows organizations to:

• Manage permissions at a granular resource level based on Google Workspace users and groups.
• Automate database permissions management based on Google Workspace users and groups authentication.
• Create On-Call and Break Glass automated access workflows based on Google Workspace users in Pagerduty/Opsgenie/ViktorOps shifts.
• Grant limited access to customer data or environment based on Google Workspace user, groups or other attributes.
• Slack/Teams access request and approval workflows (i.e based on Google Workspace manager attribute) for RnD or support personnel.
• Restrict access to PII and sensitive data synced with cloud resources and Google Workspace groups.
