Google Apps SSO Integration

Overview

Expensify offers a Single Sign-on (SSO) integration with Google Apps for one-click Workspace invites.

To set this up for users, you must:

• Be an admin for a Group Workspace using a Collect or Control Workspace.
• Have Administrator access to the Google Apps Admin console.

Google Apps SSO differs from using Google as your Identity Provider for SAML SSO, which limits domain access. To complete the Google SAML setup, follow the Google guide to Set up SSO via SAML for Expensify. You can enable both at the same time.
