AODocs requires your permission to perform operations on your G Suite domain, such as updating file permissions, creating folders, reading the list of users and groups, etc.

These permissions are normally set when you install AODocs from the G Suite Marketplace, but in some cases, they need to be confirmed manually by a G Suite Administrator.

To check the status of the AODocs permissions on your domain:

1. Go to https://admin.google.com.

2. Press the Apps button.

Tip: If you don't see the button in your dashboard, open More controls from the bottom of the page.

3. Select Marketplace apps.

4. Select AODocs in the list of applications.

5. If necessary, open the Data access section.

You should see a green indicator, Granted. If you don't see this indicator, you may see a button allowing you to Grant data access, which will fix AODocs permissions on your domain.

Note: If your G Suite domain has a large number of Organizational Units, granting data access to AODocs on your domain may take some time (up to a few hours). In this case, AODocs will report Application Programming Interface (API) errors until the API access permissions granted to AODocs are applied on all Organizational Units.
