How to create a Google Directory Chromebook segment

Preview: This feature is in preview and subject to change.

  • Client email
  • Private key
  • Delegated admin email
  • Optional Customer ID

  3. On the Segment type page, select Google Directory and click Next.
  4. In Step 1 - Select or install audit service, pick an Audit Service to run the audit.
  5. In Step 2 - Google Directory, review the automatically generated segment name and change it if needed. Then select the Chromebooks resource.
  6. In Step 3 - Cloud credentials, turn on the Google Directory credential section, click Add, and enter or upload the Google Directory credential details.
  7. In Step 4 - Scan schedule, choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly, or continue without a schedule.

Verify

After saving, the new segment appears in Network > Segments with the Google Directory type icon.

  1. Open the segment.
  2. Click Scan to discover Chromebook devices.
  3. Review the Scan Results grid. Chromebook scan results behave like other devices and typically appear as Ready for audit.
  4. Select the discovered Chromebooks and click Audit.
  5. Open Inventory and check the Chromebooks tile for the audited devices.
  6. Open a Chromebook device to review its General and Details tabs.

Note: Google Directory is a separate segment type from Google Cloud Platform. Use the Google Cloud Platform segment workflow for Google Cloud Platform resources.
