Body
Issue
A user's password does not sync with their Google account after it was changed.
Environment
- Gmail
- SuperVault
- Google Admin
Information
This could happen when accounts are not syncing caused by a mismatch between @email.grcc.edu and @grcc.edu addresses or if a password is set before the email entitlement is active.
Process
Note: This process will need to be completed by a Contingent or Full Time Support Desk staff member.
Note: If the idmsync@email.grcc.edu process does not run in Google Admin after using the troubleshooting steps outlined below, contact the Infrastructure team. They will likely need to restart the Staff Gmail sync driver.
Google Admin
- Click Reporting > Audit and investigations > Admin log events.
- Verify the password was not synced with Google through idmsync@email.grcc.edu. You can search by user name if needed.
- If no password change is showing in the audit log, then navigate to SuperVault.
- If password change is shown, it is likely user error.

SuperVault
- Look up user in SuperVault.
- Click Modify Object.
- Click Identity Manager tab.
- Click Entitlement Results.
- You will most likely see an error similar to this one:

- Click General tab.
- Click Other.
- Under Valued Attributes, double-click businessCategory.
- Select Staff Mailbox (or Student Mailbox) in the dropdown menu and click
- Click OK to close the Edit Attribute window.
- Click Apply at the bottom.
- Go to the user menu and click Modify Object again.
- Click Identity Manager and go to Entitlement Results.

- Verify that a change was made on the Staff Gmail Entitlement.
- Click General > Other > businessCategory and add Staff Mailbox (or Student Mailbox)
- Verify that you see a granted and successful message in the Entitlement Results. You may see an error next to this driver, this is because the user is not entitled, make sure to verify the date and time is from when you applied the new business category.
- Click Apply
- The password will sync on the next sync process. You can verify this in the audit log in Google Admin.
