Google Workspace - Known Issues

Incompatible Password Characters

Issue

If a user's IdentiKey password has an asterisk (*) or an at sign (@), the password may be rejected when attempting to log in to Google. This is due to a discrepancy in the allowed characters between Google and CU Identity Manager.

Resolution

Use IdentiKey Manager to change your IdentiKey password to one that does not contain the aforementioned characters.

Google Shared Drive Migrations

Issue

When migrating data from My Drive to a Google Shared Drive, only files/folders owned by @colorado.edu accounts will be migrated. Files/folders owned by other accounts, such as someone's @gmail.com account, will stay in the original location.

Resolution

Any data owned by non-colorado.edu accounts will remain in the original location. It will be up to the owner of the new Google Shared Drive to grant permissions to the external user accounts of those file/folders to the Shared Drive and then have the external user move the data to the Shared Drive.

(The move is important. Attempting to download and copy the data as a new upload to the Shared Drive will result in duplicate copies of the files and will cause versioning conflicts as some users edit the old files and other users edit the new versions.)
