Do More: How Okta and Google Workspace Work Together

Boost productivity, security, and efficiency with out-of-the-box integrations that can be set up in seconds.

With Okta’s Secure Identity Integrations (SII), Google Workspace customers can access advanced capabilities that require virtually no development or management effort. That means you can scale effortlessly, while staying ahead of the latest identity security threats.

Okta’s deep capabilities for Google Workspace offer:

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Secure, efficient access to apps with streamlined login and enterprise SSO that boosts productivity.

Lifecycle Management

Automate provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning while syncing with Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) sync for accuracy and efficiency.

Entitlements Management

Strengthen security and prevent unauthorized access with adaptive MFA and access controls for group users. Easily manage who can access resources like Gemini—and who cannot.

Workflows

Simplify identity processes with no-code workflows along with pre-built connectors and templates, saving cost and time.

Universal Logout

Post-authentication security feature to ensure secure user sign-outs with robust tracking and reporting.

Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM)

Agentless, real-time safeguard that provides continuous visibility into identities, permissions, and actions—helping to uncover hidden risks, contextualize threats, prioritize issues, and guide remediation.

Simplify Access to Apps

By connecting your Google Workspace directory to Okta, you can use your Google Workspace credentials across more than 8,000+ integrations in the Okta Integration Network, in addition to Google Workspace and devices. Okta’s enterprise SSO solution provides secure, efficient access to all applications with a single login, boosting productivity and improving the user experience. This streamlined login reduces the risk of password-related security incidents, ensuring both convenience and security.

Okta Integration Network

Centralized Identity Management

Okta Universal Directory orchestrates identity attributes across your vast application landscape and synchronizes identities from any source of truth. It offers a consolidated view for admins to efficiently manage users, groups, and devices. With robust Lifecycle Management capabilities, Okta automates provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning while syncing with AD and LDAP for accuracy and efficiency. This eliminates the need for exhaustive directory cleanup and firewall changes, enabling smooth integration with Google Workspace.

Streamlined Collaboration

Okta and Google Workspace empower remote and hybrid teams to collaborate seamlessly and securely from anywhere. Google Workspace’s suite of productivity tools, combined with Okta’s identity management capabilities, provides a powerful solution for secure, efficient teamwork. Organizations can enforce fine-grained access controls with adaptive MFA, ensuring only authorized users access critical resources.

Automated Identity Management

Okta simplifies and automates identity processes, so your teams can focus on value-driven projects. With Okta Workflows, you can automate complex identity tasks like provisioning, access approvals, and deprovisioning using pre-built, no-code templates and connectors. This capability saves time and reduces costs while automatically reclaiming Google Workspace licensees when users leave the organization.

Embrace Advanced Identity Security

Dynamic work environments require strong session and access protection. Okta’s Adaptive MFA ensures only trusted users access Salesforce, while Universal Logout eliminates vulnerabilities by fully terminating sessions across all apps when suspicious activities are detected. Identity Security Posture Management maintains agentless visibility into identities, permissions, and actions to uncover risks, contextualize threats, and prioritize remediation across human and non-human identities.
