How to Configure Google Workspace SSO for Time Doctor

 

Note: Google Workspace SSO is available with Time Doctor's PremiumSubscription Planand can be configured by Company Owner or Admin, and those with Google Workspace Admin Panel Access.

 

TL;DR: 
 
Configure Google Workspace SSO in Time Doctor by creating two SAML apps in Google Admin (one for Web, one for Desktop), mapping attributes, retrieving IdP details, and adding them in Settings / Company Settings / SSO.

 

Single sign-on (SSO) using Google Workspace with the SAML protocol can be configured for Time Doctor. This allows users to log in using their Google Workspace credentials by selecting Sign in with SSO on the Time Doctor login page.

  4. Under NameID Format, select EMAIL.
