Overview
Connecting Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) with Trio MDM brings powerful automation, security, and policy control to your device fleet—whether you’re managing Chromebooks, Androids, or cross-platform endpoints. This integration lets your IT team enforce the right policies for the right users, without manual configuration.
Here’s how the integration improves productivity, security, and IT efficiency.
What You Gain from Google Workspace + Trio Integration
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Admins and users sign into Trio using their Google Workspace accounts.
No additional passwords, no separate user management.
Leverages Google’s built-in security features (2FA, login protection).
Seamless User & Group Sync
Trio automatically syncs users and groups from Google Directory.
As users join, leave, or change teams, their device policies update automatically.
Ensures policy accuracy across all managed endpoints.
Context-Aware Policy Enforcement
Apply specific security profiles based on Google groups (e.g., “Engineering,” “HR,” “Remote Employees”).
Profiles can include settings like password complexity, Wi-Fi configs, and app restrictions.
Device Trust Based on Compliance
Trio evaluates each device’s health (OS version, encryption, threat status).
Only compliant devices can access company apps, data, and network resources.
Ideal for organizations following a Zero Trust approach.
Just-in-Time Access (JIT)
Users get the exact permissions they need—only when needed.
Access is automatically revoked when the task is complete or if the device falls out of compliance.
Why IT Teams Love This Setup
✔︎ No manual policy mapping — group-based automation does the work
✔︎ Better onboarding — new users get devices set up securely in minutes
✔︎ Platform flexibility — works across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS
✔︎ Real-time enforcement — devices are continuously validated
✔︎ Native to the Google ecosystem — integrates directly with Workspace Directory and Groups
Real-World Example
Before Integration:
IT assigns apps manually based on spreadsheets.
Remote users have different security levels.
Users forget passwords or fall outside the policy scope.
After Integration:
User logs into Trio with their Google Workspace account.
Their device is auto-configured with the right apps and restrictions.
Google Groups drives policy decisions—IT doesn’t touch a thing.
