I switched from GSuite Auth to LDAP for almost exactly this reason.. using
LDAP groups makes it very easy. I didn't find a way of making it work with
GSuite, but someone else here may have been more adventurous or creative!
It "should" be technically possible with enough hacking, as the federated
Auth method for making Amazon AWS console work with GSuite entails setting
some user attributes on the Google side which AWS maps to a role...
