Sync Firebase accounts with G Suite accounts

Question

I'd like to create an internal app for company's employees with G Suite account. Is there a way to auto-sync Firebase accounts with G Suite accounts?

My main requirement is a way to display to each employee a list of all other employees as a part of the app's GUI.

There's nothing built-in for that, but you could write code to auto-create the users from your GSuite domain in Firebase through the Admin SDK.

I just wonder what you'd do with those users on the Firebase side. The more common approach is to just let them sign in to Firebase with any account, and then restrict access based on them being from your (verified) gsuite domain.

I read about the approach you suggested and I don't think it's enough. How can that help me show a user all the company employees in the app? Even users that didn't sign up manually. Maybe another approach like accessing Google Contacts of a Firebase user can do? – galah92 Jul 02 '19 at 14:25

There is no API to list the users in Firebase Authentication from the client anyway. You'll want to store the list of users somewhere else for that, typically in a database like Firebase' Realtime Database, or Cloud Firestore. – Frank van Puffelen Jul 02 '19 at 14:53
