[Google] Administrator guide to configure API access control for Logitech applications

API controls in Google Admin are required to authorize Logitech Sync and Logi Tune to access Google calendar resources and user information. This allows the applications to integrate with Google Workspace and provide features like calendar scheduling and user management within the Logitech platform.

Once these permissions are enabled, users are able to book a desk and view meeting schedule from Logitech Dock Flex using their Google Workspace work account and book a meeting room enabled with Logitech Tap Scheduler from Google Calendar.
