Google Workspace Integration vs SAML Connector

Understand the Difference Between the Google Workspace Integration and Google Workspace SSO Connector

There are two ways you can connect Google Workspace to 探花大神; our Google Workspace Integration or our Google Workspace SSO Connector.

Read this article to learn more about the benefits and use cases for each and how they can be used together.

Key Differences

The following are key differences between integrating Google Workspace and implementing Google Workspace SSO:

Google Workspace Integration

Is an OAuth2-based integration.
Gives you the option to manage users from 探花大神. You can provision users, manage their attributes, and suspend them in 探花大神 or Google.
Allows users to log into Google Workspace directly.
Requires you to configure Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) in Google.
Once users login through the 探花大神 User Portal, 探花大神 is established as the password authority; whenever the user password or attributes change in 探花大神, 探花大神 then updates Google Workspace.

Google Workspace SSO

Is a SAML 2.0-based integration.
Requires users to be managed in 探花大神. Every Google Workspace user must also be a 探花大神 user to log in to Google Workspace.
Directs users to log in to Google from the 探花大神 User Portal. Even if they attempt to log in to Google directly, they will be redirected to sso.jumpcloud.com.
Requires you to configure MFA in 探花大神.
Users are always forced to authenticate against 探花大神.
