Allowing Lantern in Google Workspace

If someone at your organisation sees “This app is blocked” when connecting Google to Lantern, your Google Workspace blocks third-party apps that read Analytics or Business Profile data until an administrator trusts them. This page is for that administrator. It takes about two minutes.

What Lantern asks for

• Google Analytics — sessions, users and engagement for the properties you choose, and creating a new property when you ask Lantern to set one up for a site. Lantern never changes or deletes an existing property.
• Search Console and site verification — clicks, impressions and positions for the sites you choose, and adding a site that is not in Search Console yet when you ask Lantern to. Lantern never removes a site or changes its settings.
• Google Business Profile — views, calls, direction requests, website clicks and reviews, and creating a new location when you ask Lantern to set one up for a storefront. Lantern never edits or deletes an existing profile.
• The account’s email address — to label the connection.

The data is used only to compile your clients’ monthly reports. See the privacy policy.

Trust Lantern

1. Sign in as a Google Workspace super administrator and open Admin console → Security → Access and data control → API controls → Manage Third-Party App Access.
2. Click Configure new app (or Add app → OAuth App Name Or Client ID).
3. Search for this client ID:

   1065543641729-t4p3eg7v9lt7s78qap5nrsqf2fgiumno.apps.googleusercontent.com

4. Select Lantern Reporting, choose who it applies to (your whole organisation, or the unit your reporting staff are in), and set access to Trusted.
5. Save. The change can take a few minutes to reach everyone.

Then ask your colleague to connect Google again. They will see Google’s notice that the app has not been verified yet — choose Advanced, then Go to lanternreporting.com.

Removing it later

Set the app back to Blocked in the same place, or have the person who connected remove Lantern at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Lantern stops syncing immediately.
