Google Apps SSO Integration

Overview

Expensify offers Single Sign-On (SSO) integration with Google Apps, allowing one-click Workspace invites for easier user management.

Requirements:

• You must be an admin of a Group Workspace with a Collect or Control subscription.
• You must have Administrator access to the Google Apps Admin console.

Note: Google Apps SSO is different from using Google as an Identity Provider for SAML SSO, which restricts domain access. If you need Google SAML SSO, follow Google’s guide. You can enable both simultaneously.

How to Enable Expensify on Google Apps

To integrate Expensify with your Google Apps domain and add an Expenses shortcut to your Google navigation bar:

1. Sign in to your Google Apps Admin console as an administrator.
2. Open the Expensify App Listing on Google Workspace.
3. Click Admin Install to begin installation.
4. Click Continue.
5. If you manage multiple domains, select the correct one.
6. Click Finish. (You can later configure access for specific Organizational Units if needed.)
7. Users can now find Expensify under More in their Google Apps directory.

Now, follow the steps below to sync users from Google Apps to Expensify.

How to Sync Google Apps Users to Expensify

To automatically add your Google Apps users to an Expensify Workspace:

1. Complete the Google Apps installation steps above.
2. Log in to Expensify.
3. Go to Settings > Workspaces > Group or click here.
4. Select the Workspace you want to sync users with.
5. Navigate to People in the admin menu.
6. Click Sync G Suite Now. Expensify will detect users in your domain who are not yet in the Workspace and add them.

Important: The connection does not auto-refresh. You must manually click Sync G Suite Now whenever you want to update users.
