Google Single Sign On

Single sign on (SSO) via Google lets you login to ClickUp with your Google account to save you time and provide peace of mind. 

What you'll need

Note: If you are using a secondary domain in your Google Workspace and you would like to use both domains for SSO, you will need to use our Custom SAML SSO option instead, which is an Enterprise Plan feature.

Login with SSO

Once SSO has been enabled for your Workspace, you can login with your Google account. 

Note: Learn how to enable Workspace SSO in the SSO overview article

To login with Google SSO, you will first need to link your Google account to your ClickUp account.

  1. If SSO is required, all of your existing Workspace members and guests will need to login with SSO and their accounts will be linked. Note: The Enterprise Plan offers the ability to exclude guests from SSO by selecting "all SSO except guests". When this option is selected, guests will not be able to log in via SSO, they must use their ClickUp username/password.

  2. New people can sign up using the SSO link. This will create their ClickUp account already linked to their SSO account.

  3. Existing Workspace members can also manually link their ClickUp & SSO account in their Preferences.

Set login and invite policies

Workspace owners and admins can customize login and invite policies for Google SSO.

Login policy

Admins and owners can decide if Google authorization is required.

If Google authorization is enforced, existing Workspace members will be prompted to link their Google account to ClickUp. If they are already logged into a Workspace requiring SSO, they'll be prompted three times to set it up before being forced to do so.

When logging in, people will be forced to sign in with their Google account in order to access your Workspace. 

Invite policy

Admins and owners can decide if members of your Google Workspace team are automatically invited when signing up.

If you opt to automatically add members, Copy and share the link provided with your team to streamline the process.

When a team member uses this link to sign up for ClickUp with Google, they will see the option to join the Workspace.

How to check who in your Workspace is using SSO

Admins can easily see who all on their Workspace has linked their Google account to ClickUp. 

  1. Open your Workspace settings

  2. Go to People

  3. People with a Google icon have setup SSO

Removing Google from your account

To manage your linked accounts, go to your profile settings, and scroll to the bottom. You will then see a list of the SSO accounts you have associated with your ClickUp account. From here, you can unlink your account to remove it.
