As part of the setup, you will create a Dots application, which will allow you to access Dots through your Google App portal.
Identity provider-initiated flow: This authentication flow occurs when the user initiates a login to Dots from the Google App portal.
In order to proceed with configuring login with SSO through Google SSO, you must:
Be an Google workspace Administrator.
Be an existing Dots enterprise plan client.
Follow these steps to set up Google SSO for your organization:
Log in to Google Admin Console.
Navigate to Apps On the left-hand menu, click "Apps".
Open Web and Mobile Apps Click "Web and mobile apps".
Add a Custom SAML App Click the "Add App" dropdown and choose "Add custom SAML app".
