Google Workspace — grant Sovereign company email

This guide is for the owner or Google Workspace / IT admin. You create a dedicated company Gmail account, then give Centurion the account details in Centurion chat on your Sovereign brain. Centurion completes the connection. You do not set this up in the iPhone app.

Before you start

You need:

• Google Workspace admin access (or an IT ticket)
• Access to Centurion chat on your Sovereign brain (at the appliance — not Sovereign Remote on iPhone)

Step 1 — Create the dedicated mailbox

1. In Google Workspace Admin → Directory → Users, add a user for the Sovereign.
2. Use a clear address such as sovereign@yourcompany.com or assistant@yourcompany.com.
3. Set a strong password.
4. Enforce 2-Step Verification per company policy (if that blocks simple sign-in, ask IT for the approved method — Centurion will guide you).
5. Confirm the account can send and receive mail.

Step 2 — Open Centurion chat on your Sovereign brain

1. Sit at (or remotely reach) your Sovereign brain.
2. Open Centurion chat on the brain.
3. Do not use the iPhone app for this step.

Step 3 — Share the account details with Centurion

In Centurion chat, tell Centurion you want Google Workspace / company email connected, and share:

• The email address
• The password
• Anything else Centurion asks for (for example a one-time code, or a browser approval link)

Example you can paste and fill in:

Please connect company email for this Sovereign.
Provider: Google Workspace
Address: sovereign@yourcompany.com
Password: [password]
Set up mail access on this brain.

Centurion will configure the connection and keep credentials on the brain.

Step 4 — Follow Centurion’s prompts

If Centurion shows a Google sign-in page, consent link, or asks for a code:

1. Complete it as the dedicated mailbox user.
2. Prefer that mailbox — not a personal executive inbox — unless policy requires otherwise.
3. Return to Centurion chat and confirm when done.

You do not need to create a Google Cloud OAuth client or pick Gmail scopes yourself. Centurion handles setup from the account details.

Step 5 — Verify

Ask Centurion in the same chat to:

1. Check recent mail in that mailbox, or
2. Send a short test message to yourself

Confirm the message appears in Gmail for that user.

Revoke access

IT stays in control:

1. Reset the password, or suspend / delete the Workspace user.
2. Tell Centurion on the brain to disconnect company mail if your build offers that.
3. In Google account security for that user, remove any third-party access Centurion created, if shown.
