Google IDM lets SchoolDay users access Google Workspace applications through Single Sign-On (SSO) without entering their credentials. It uses the SAML protocol and requires configuration in each Google Workspace to be activated.

To configure SAML SSO in Google Workspace, first set up a SAML profile in AppStore, then assign it to the desired Organizational Units (OUs) and share the entity ID and ACS URL with SchoolDay.

### Requirements

- Super Admin Google Workspace access.
- [Download the signed certificate](https://help.schoolday.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/STAR_gg4l_com.crt?hsLang=en). Google requires it in PEM format.

### Set up SAML Profile

1. Sign in to the Google Admin console as an administrator.
2. Go to **Security** \> **Authentication** \> **SSO with third-party IdP**.
3. Click **Add SAML profile**.
4. Under the **Third-party SSO profiles**, enter AppStore SAML metadata.

     - **SSO Profile Name**: *sso.gg4l.com*
     - **IDP entity ID**: *https://sso.gg4l.com/idp*
     - **Sign-in page URL**: *https://sso.gg 4l.com/saml2/Redirect/SSO*
     - **Sign-out page URL**: *https://sso.gg4l.com/auth/logout*
5. Click **Upload Certificate**, then import the AppStore SAML certificate into the SAML profile.
6. Click **Save**.

### Assign SAML Profile to OUs

1. Under the **Manage SSO profile assignments** section, click **Manage**.
2. Select **Another SSO Profile** and choose your AppStore SAML profile.

3. Choose the option **Have Google prompt for their username, then redirect them to this profile's IDP sign-in page.**
4. Click **Save**.

### Share Entity ID and ACS URL with SchoolDay team

1. Navigate to **Security** \> **Authentication** \> **SSO with third party IdP**.
2. Open your **SAML Profile**.
