Single Sign-On with Google Workspaces

Single Sign-On with Google Workspaces

This is an Enterprise only feature and will incur an extra cost.
If you don’t have an Enterprise license yet but are interested, please contact us at success@mopinion.com.

Setting up single sign-on properly takes some work, but the added security is worth the trouble! Below, we’ll outline the steps to enable single sign-on with Google Workspace for Mopinion.

Getting the data from Mopinion

To set up Mopinion in your Google Workspace, first, you’ll need to get the UUID of your organisation. Find it in the Mopinion app by navigating to your “Organisation” page through the top right menu.

 

Then copy the identifier in the “UUID” field.

 

Setting up your Google Workspace application for Mopinion

Next up, we’ll create the application that will be linked to Mopinion.

In your Google admin environment, navigate to the "Apps -> Web and Mobile Apps" page to create a new custom SAML app.
