Missing Roles at User Level
Roles can be added via a custom transformation.
Why Do Google Classroom Users Not Have Roles?
There Are No Roles in Google Classroom
Google Classroom doesn't assign roles such as teacher, student, or admin to their users. Due to this, we can't sync roles to your application using Google Classroom alone.
Take advantage of our data enrichment feature. This feature uses the school or district's SIS to provide user roles that we can then sync.
