Save money with external users in G Suite.

Does your company leverage on services that use LDAP while using G Suite and also having lot of external users? What if you don’t have to create G Suite account for every external user, but all those users can still use your company services. This scenario is pretty easy using G Suite identity sync.

The only thing you need is that every external user has gmail account or you can even create google account without gmail.

I will count that you already have the G Suite identity sync installed.

1. Login to admin.google.com as administrator and create group for external users e.g. external.users
2. Add all external users to this group.
3. Login as administrator to G Suite identity sync and select group for external users [Menu -> Settings]

Now every external user can login and create LDAP password and use all your company services. Also external.usersgroup will be automatically synchronized to LDAP.
