Set up

Add Google Sheets to ECA in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ECA then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Google Sheets in Runlayer

    Add Google Sheets from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect ECA to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to ECA by following Runlayer’s setup guide. ECA reaches Google Sheets’s 21 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Google Sheets

    Sign in the way Google Sheets requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Google Sheets from ECA

    Google Sheets’s approved tools appear in ECA. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

21 Google Sheets tools in ECA

Runlayer policy decides which of these ECA users can call. 4 read data only and 4 can change or delete data.

  • Add sheet

    Add a new sheet (tab) to an existing spreadsheet.

  • Append

    Append data to a spreadsheet.

  • Autofill

    Extend a formula or detected series from a source range into a larger destination range (like dragging the fill handle).

  • Clear

    Clear the values in a range while leaving the rows, columns, and formatting in place.

  • Clear filter

    Remove a sheet's filter, restoring any rows it was hiding.

  • Create

    Create a new spreadsheet.

  • Create filter

    Turn on filtering over a range of a sheet (the funnel button in the Sheets UI), so rows can be sorted and filtered by column.

  • Delete rows

    Delete rows from a sheet, shifting the rows below them up.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in ECA

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ECA exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Google Sheets call from ECA passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, ECA as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ECA yet, so control happens at the gateway.
