What’s changing
We're making it easy for admins to enable single sign-on for thousands of additional apps that don’t support modern authentication standards like SAML and OIDC. The combination of standards based and password-vaulted app support will deliver one of the largest SSO app catalogs in the industry.

Admins and end users
Why you’d use it
Google supports
single sign-on for apps in the
G Suite Marketplace, apps that support SAML or OIDC as an authentication mechanism, and apps that leverage
LDAP for sign-on. While this existing solution works for many apps, some of our customers rely on apps that don’t support these standards. others don’t support federated single sign-on. This release provides seamless one-click access for users and a single point of management, visibility, and control for admins.
With password vaulting, admins can:
- Manage credentials in a single space,
- Securely enable access to shared credentials,
- Manage access to app credentials based on group membership, and
- Log and access reports on usage of the credentials within their organization.
End users can view and login to their apps with a single click within
a new user dashboard.How to get started
