  2. Configure Google App

    • Enter a name (example: KiteSuite SSO) and click Continue.

    • Download the IdP metadata XML file from Google.

    • Keep this file handy — you’ll need to upload it to KiteSuite.

    Fill in the following fields:

    • ACS URL

    • Entity ID

    • Name ID format → EMAIL

    Click Continue.

  4. Map Attributes

    • Primary Email → email

    • First Name → firstName

    • Last Name → lastName

    Click Finish.

  5. Enable the app for users

    • In Google Admin, make sure the KiteSuite SSO app is turned ON for everyone (or specific organizational units).

  6. Workspace Integration Setup

    • Log in to KiteSuite → Click your Workspace Icon → Go to Workspace Settings → Security

    • In the Single Sign-On section, select Google

    • Upload the XML file you downloaded

    • Save the settings
