Who can do this?
👤 The steps in this guide require Google Admin access.
We'll walk through the steps to enable Kami as an approved app for students. Please note, this is a separate requirement from installing the Kami extension and the other Kami Network Requirements.
Kami team update from 1/5/25:
Kami is aware of the current Google Authentication "invalid authorization code" error when accessing documents. Our engineering team has prioritised investigating the cause of the Google Authentication problems you are experiencing.
Please test the steps below to re-grant access to Kami via the Google Admin page and determine if this resolves the issue for your users.
1. Log in to admin.google.com with your email address used for Kami.
2. In the left-hand menu panel, click on Apps > Google Workspace and Marketplace App > App List.
3. Under Domain Installed Apps, select Kami.
4. Scroll down to the Data Access section, then select Grant Access on the right side of the page.
Please contact our support team if the above steps have been attempted but you or any of your users are still encountering issues. Keep in mind that the above changes may take some time to go into effect.
Configure access to Kami via the Google Admin Console
1. Setting up API controls
Before we apply the authorization changes, we must ensure the API settings are as they should be. Please follow these steps and ensure everything is as seen in these screenshots.
To get started, go to the side panel of your Admin Console and click Security > Access and Data control > API controls to access your API settings.
Then, click anywhere in the Settings section to expand it.
Select Unconfigured third-party apps to expand this section.
Find the Settings for users under 18 permissions, and adjust this to the permission that best suits your organization's Policy.
2. Confirm settings for configured third-party apps
After saving, you will be returned to the App access control page. Select Manage App Access.
Select the Apps Pending Review option.
On the next page, use the search bar to type "Kami". A drop down option will appear to filter by App names contaning "Kami".
This should return 13 Kami app options. Select all 13, then click the Change access button.
🔍 If you can't see the Kami App under Apps Pending Review, it may already be under the Configured Apps. Check there and confirm that the app is configured as Trusted. (Note: There may be multiple Kami entries; ensure all are set to Trusted).
3. Configure Access for Kami
Make sure that Kami is set to Trusted.
On the first page, you can configure the scope of whose access will be modified. All users in your domain will be selected by default, or you can select specific org units.
Once finished, select the Next button.
On the next page, you can configure the Kami app's access to Google Data for the selected users.
Select Trusted, then check the Exempt option beneath it. Once finished, press Next.
On the next page, review your changes, then select Change Access.
A pop-up window will open with the parental consent form. Read through this form, then select Confirm.
Once this is finished, you're all set! Your users' access has now been confirmed. Keep in mind, these changes may take some time to go into effect.
