What is SSO?
Single sign-on (SSO) allows your users to log in to the online academy using an external account. In this article, we will discuss what to configure in order to activate SSO integration with Google. For further information about SSO in general, please refer to this article.
In order to utilize SSO, users must already be added to the online academy. SSO does not create user accounts.
How do I configure Google SSO (SAML)?
We will provide instructions on how to set up SSO. To achieve this, we have a SAML integration with Google, and an OAuth integration. In this article, we will cover the SAML variant. Below you will find a step-by-step guide on how to activate this integration. Please consult Google's support for the precise settings.

You can manage your integrations on the integrations page. You can find this page on the left side of the menu bar:
Next, you can select Google (SAML) at ‘Single sign-on’. This will take you to the settings page.
Here, you can select ‘Add’.
Thereafter, you can enter the credentials obtained from Google.
At ‘Integration status’, you can indicate whether the integration is activated or not.
The ‘Login with “button" option allows you to decide whether a button should also be displayed in the login screen. Is this option disabled? Then, users can only log in through an external method via SSO (e.g., intranet).
Save the changes to activate the integration.
