Playing with G Suite MDM mobile device data using Go

Our desktop support & G Suite admin folks needed a simple, fast command-line tool to query basic info about our company’s mobile devices (which are all managed using G Suite’s built-in MDM).

So I wrote one.

Since this tool needs to be run via command-line, it can’t use any interactive or browser-based authentication, so we need to use a service account for authentication.

Pre-requisites (GCP & G Suite):

  • Create a service account in your G Suite domain (Google Cloud Console –> IAM & Admin –> Service Accounts)
  • Be sure that you have checked the “Enable G Suite Domain-wide Delegation” box as this will give your new service account the appropriate permissions to query the G Suite Admin API
  • Download the service account JSON credentials file. Open it up and find the client_id. Make a note of it!
  • Now we need to authorize the client_id of your service account for the necessary API scopes. In the Admin Console for your G Suite domain (Admin Console –> Security –> Advanced Settings –> Authentication –> Manage API Client Access), add your client_id in the “Client Name” box, and add 
    https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.device.mobile.readonly
    in the “One or more API scopes” box
  • Click the “Authorize” button when you’re finished

Pre-requisites (Go)
You’ll need to “go get” a few packages:

  • go get -u golang.org/x/oauth2/google
  • go get -u google.golang.org/api/admin/directory/v1
  • go get -u github.com/dustin/go-humanize

Pre-requisites (Environment Variables)
Because it’s never good to store runtime configuration within code, you’ll notice that the code references several environment variables. Setup them up to suit your preference but something like this will do:

export GSUITE_COMPANYID="A01234567"
export SVC_ACCOUNT_CREDS_JSON="/home/rickt/dev/adminsdk/golang/creds.json
export GSUITE_ADMINUSER="foo@bar.com"

And finally, the code
