Securly Filter Logins with Google Workspace roles

We understand that school IT admins need to share and delegate responsibilities of managing, filtering, and the Securly admin portal with their colleagues. The Securly admin portal, therefore, allows you to assign staff members to different kinds of roles - super admin delegated reporting group members (DA), etc.

To give users access to the Securly portal as super admins you would need to add them to the "Admin Group". (Click here to learn how.)
If the "Admin Group" is not set up then anyone with an "All OUs" access to Google Workspace will have admin access to the Securly portal.

Refer to the tables below for a more granular view of the role mapping.

Google Workspace role	Scope of access in Google Workspace	Admin Group member	Securly role	Access to Securly portal

The following roles cannot be logged into the Securly portal unless they are specifically made part of the Admin group or delegated activity monitoring duties as a Delegated Reporting Group member.

Services admin	All OUs	No
Mobile admin	All OUs	No
User Management Admin	1 or more OUs (not all)	No

If you create any Custom Groups in Google Workspace, those users will have access to the Securly portal as per the roles you assign to them both in Google Workspace and Securly.
