Following this, you'll need to gather the Client ID and Secret of that application, utilizing them to configure SSO within Observo. Further details on these procedures are elaborated in the subsequent sections of the document.

Register a new application

To enable users to sign in using Google Workspace, it is necessary to register your application within the Google Developer Console. To understand the process of registering a new application with Google, refer to Google's OAuth 2.0 setup documentation. Throughout this procedure, Google will automatically generate a Client ID and Client Secret for your application; ensure to take note of these details. When configuring your app, make sure to utilize these settings:

• On the OAuth consent screen, under Authorized domains, add auth0.com.

• When asked to select an application type, choose Web application and set the following parameters

  • Authorized JavaScript origins : https://{ObservoAuthDomain}

  • Authorized redirect URIs : https://{ObservoAuthDomain}/login/callback

Observo Auth Domain can be found in SSO page of Observo UI.

To establish a connection with Google Workspace enterprise domains, it is essential to activate the Admin SDK Service. To learn how, follow Google's Enable and disable APIs doc.

Create Google Workspace Connection

Next, Proceed to create and set up a Google Workspace Connection in Observo by navigating to Settings > SSO > Create SSO. Ensure that you have the Client ID and Client Secret, which were generated during the setup of your application in the Google Developer Console. Use your Google Workspace domain as Domain field.

Once Google Workspace SSO connection is created you will be provided with a URL from Observo UI. If you have the necessary administrative permissions to configure your Google Workspace settings, proceed by clicking Continue. Otherwise, share the provided URL with your administrator to take the necessary steps.
