After you set up and sync your Google Workspace account, you can monitor your sync settings.
Monitor sync status
Once you start syncing Google Workspace, you're taken to a status page to view the progress of your sync. Depending on the number of users to sync, syncing may take a while. You’ll be alerted once the sync is complete from Google Workspace to your Atlassian organization.
Once a sync is in progress, you can’t stop it. When the sync is complete, you can turn it off or disconnect the Google Workspace account from the Atlassian organization.
Sync complete
When the sync is complete, users and their details appear in Status. You can view the status of when a sync is in progress and when a sync is complete. Your saved settings will also show up. Here’s an example breakdown of a Status and Settings page.
Number of users, groups, and domains synced from Google Workspace
Sync settings for Google Workspace users of this organization
List of group names synced from Google Workspace
Status for when a sync is enabled or disabled or in progress

Manually sync users
We’ll automatically sync your Google Workspace users every 4 hours, but you can manually sync at any time.
To manually sync your Google Workspace users:
Navigate to Google Workspace directory at admin.atlassian.com.
Select Sync now.
Disable sync
When you disable sync, you can still change your Google Workspace settings. Users won’t sync while sync is disabled, and we’ll maintain product access and Google authentication settings for previously synced users.
To disable sync:
Navigate to Google Workspace directory at admin.atlassian.com.
Select Edit on the Google Workspace settings page.
Select Disable syncing.
Save your settings.
Update selected groups that sync
If you specified groups to sync, we’ll continue to sync new and existing users from those groups.
To add or remove your selected groups:
Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
Navigate to Security > Identity providers, and select your Google Workspace directory.
Click Edit under Settings, and then update selected groups.
