How do I find my Google Cloud identity?

As of today, Google does not provide option to assign (or unassign) Google Workspace Archive license via Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS).

However, You may consider following as a prospective solution for now-:

  1. Exclude your “Archived_Users” Org Unit from GCDS.
  2. Create a cron job which calls Directory API to list users in your Archive_Users Org Unit.
  3. Search within this list to find users who are still active.
  4. Make a patch API call with archived=true to archive these active users.

Please watch the video above where I show how you can exactly do that with Google Apps Script (I have provided the script as well for you to copy and use).
