  11. Click Save in the upper-right corner of the screen.
  12. If you are logged in as the same user that you will set up, the Configure Connect in Vantagepoint for Your Google Workspace Account procedure is complete. Proceed to Install the custom Google app in users' Gmail accounts. .
  13. If you are logged in as a different user than the one you will be setting up, click the Provisioning tab and use the filter in the grid to find the record of the employee you are setting up.
    1. Click the + Plus icon to the right of the employee.
      The User Provisioning screen displays.

      The Provision Result grid displays. Refer to the Provisioning Results column on this grid to confirm the success of the user activation. If successful, the user names display on the Users list on the Groups tab when this group is selected. If not successful, review the details provided in the Message column to determine the reason it was activated.
