Overview
To enable enterprise groupware with Google Services, you need to first enable OAuth access control and copy the OAuth keys from the Manage OAuth Access section of the Google Services administrative control panel. You then enable the groupware server and provide its settings by logging into the Partner Dashboard as the administrator, and choosing Desktop/SaaS Calendars as the server type.
Enabling OAUTH Access and Copying the Keys
Visit the Manage OAuth Access section of the Google Services administrative control panel, and perform the following:
- Enable the consumer key (click the "Enable consumer key" checkbox).
- Enable the "Two-legged OAuth Access Control" option.
- Copy the consumer key and the OAuth consumer secret.
The keys will need to be placed inside the Deem Secure Dashboard. Email integration@deem.com to let us know that you will soon be emailing the keys, and ask for the instructions on how to email them to us. If you would prefer a WebEx session, email integration@deem.com to set up a time for the WebEx session.
Enabling the Groupware Server in the Partner Dashboard
The Deem Activations team or your system administrator enables enterprise groupware in the Partner Dashboard by following these steps:
- Log into the Partner Dashboard as the site administrator.
- Click the Groupware Servers link under the Settings tab.
- Click the Add Server link to show the Add Server page and add a server, or click the link for an existing groupware server to show the Edit Server page and edit the server’s settings.
- If adding a server, enter a Server or Gateway name for easy identification when choosing servers for groups.
- Choose the server type for Google Services from the Server Type drop-down menu: Desktop/SaaS Calendars.
- Choose the calendar type for Google Services in the Calendar Type drop-down menu: Google Apps.
- Enter your OAuth Consumer Key and the OAuth Consumer Secret for Google Services. This information is in the Manage OAuth Access section of the Google Services administrative control panel (see the above section, "Enabling OAUTH Access and Copying the Keys").
- Select either Use Dedicated Calendar or Use Primary Calendar for the Calendar Choice. If you choose Use Dedicated Calendar, you must then enter the Google Calendar name and pick a Google Calendar Initial Color. The name and color correspond to the name and color of the calendar within Google Calendar that you want to use for your travel information.
- (Optional) You can also enter a Groupware ID in the Groupware ID field. This value is used for testing purposes only.
- Click the Save button to save the server settings.
- To commit these changes, click the green Changes not applied link in the top right corner of the page, and then click the Commit button.
As part of the process, we would like to test users to assure that the Google Apps Connectivity is working correctly. Please email integration@deem.com with one email addresses that we can test to make sure we are able to connect to the Google Apps calendar correctly.
Assigning the Groupware Rule to a Group
To assign the groupware rule to the group, follow these steps:
- Log into the Partner Dashboard as the site administrator.

- Enter a Rule Description that describes the intent of this rule, and click the Activate Rule checkbox.
- Scroll down to the “Then” section of the page, and click the “Enable groupware access” checkbox.
- Select the server or gateway name (the name you entered in Step 4 in the previous steps for adding the groupware server) from the Use Groupware Server drop-down menu, and click the “Enable calendar updates on this server” and “Enable address book lookups on this server” checkboxes.
- Click the Save button to save the settings.
