Google Apps
It’s easy to get your ProdPad account hooked up with the Google Apps integration, whether you already have an existing account that you want to use Google Apps SSO with, or whether you’re just getting started with a new account.
The Google Apps integration will allow you to use SSO and GoogleDrive so you can easily add files and designs to your ideas.
Add Google Apps to your account
SSO
To set up Google SSO to your account, you can do it from one of two ways:
Register a new account using 'Sign up with Google Apps' on the sign-up page.
- Click on Sign up with Google on the ProdPad signup page.
- You will be redirected to the Google Chrome Store.
- Select whether you want to authenticate as an individual or an admin (if you don't have admin rights to Google Apps, select individual.)
- When Google asks you to confirm the install, select continue.
- Review and accept the authentication Terms of Use.
- Click on complete additional setup.
- You will be redirected to your ProdPad account!
You can also register an existing account to Google Apps by signing in to your ProdPad account and authenticating from within the Security page in your account settings (Account Settings > Security > SSO.). ProdPad will then check to match your email address against what was returned by Google and if that matches, will add the Google domain to the account a user is logged into. It should be noted here that currently, we do not support Google SSO for generic Gmail domains. Google SSO is supported for work emails/domains.
Google Drive
If you only want to use Google Drive and not use SSO, you can authenticate your login when uploading a file. Simply enter your login details for Google when asked, and select choose your files to link them.
Removing the Google Apps SSO Integration
To remove the Google Apps SSO integration, the account admin can navigate to Account Settings > Security> SSO and click on 'remove' on any of the added domains.
Why does Google Apps request read and contact permissions?
If you choose to add Google SSO and access to Drive together, we ask for permissions in order to allow all other users in your account to log in and find their files as well. If you're solely looking to add files, we don't ask for contact information.
