Installation & Setup

SpotApps is a cloud-based SaaS platform — there's nothing to install locally. This guide covers how to properly set up SpotApps in your organization.

Requirements

To use SpotApps, you need:

  • Google Workspace — Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise, or Education
  • Admin access — Super Admin or delegated admin with appropriate permissions
  • Modern browser — Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+, or Edge 90+

Required Permissions

SpotApps requires specific Google Workspace permissions to function. Here's what each permission is used for:

Scope Purpose
drive.metadata.readonly View file names and permissions
drive.permissions Modify file permissions for remediation
admin.directory.user.readonly List organization users
admin.directory.domain.readonly Identify organization domains

Security Note

SpotApps never accesses file content — only metadata and permissions. Your documents remain private and secure.

Enterprise Setup

For enterprise deployments with additional security requirements:

Domain-Wide Delegation

If your organization requires domain-wide delegation instead of individual OAuth consent:

  1. Navigate to Google Admin Console → Security → API Controls
  2. Under Domain-wide delegation, click "Manage Domain Wide Delegation"
  3. Add the SpotApps service account (provided during setup)
  4. Add the required OAuth scopes

SSO Integration

SpotApps supports SAML 2.0 SSO integration for enterprise plans. Contact [email protected] for setup assistance.
