Q: What do I do if the installation process errors out?

A: If the process errors out, try clicking Domain install again to complete the process. If that doesn't work contact your Onboarding Manager or support@hoxhunt.com.

A: No. After you have authorized access to all users as explained above, the add-on will be fully functional. Users will not be prompted with any messages about access rights.

In some rare cases, a feature update to Hoxhunt's Google Workspace add-on may require additional scopes. Follow these steps to re-authenticate the add-on if all scopes have not already been approved by an Admin:

  1. Go to this page.
  2. Click the Hoxhunt Report add-on.
  3. Click grant access to approve the scope.
