Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)

Note: SSO/SAML is available in our 50-99 and 100+ seat plans.

Setup and configuration

To set up your Steady account with SSO/SAML and Google Workspace, you'll need to take the following steps. Right now there is still a manual step on our end, so we'll need the link from the last step along with a heads-up that you would like to enable SSO/SAML with Google Workspace for your account.

Once we confirm that everything works, we'll disable password authentication and magic link sign-in capability completely for your account.

Here are the steps:

1. Sign in to the Admin Console of your Google Workspace account. You'll need to be a Google Workspace account administrator
2. Go to Menu, Apps, and then Web and mobile apps.
3. Click "Add app > Add custom SAML app.
4. Enter the app name Steady. Optionally add our icon if you like, you can download it here.
5. Click Continue.
6. On the Google Identity Provider details page, download the IDP metadata and send the file to us (help chat or support@support.steady.space)
7. Then click "Continue"
8. In the Service Provider Details window, enter:

• ACS URL: https://app.steady.space/saml/consume
• Entity ID: https://app.steady.space/saml/metadata
• Start URL: https://app.steady.space/ (note the trailing slash)
• Check off "Signed Response"
• Make sure "Primary Email" is selected next to Name ID
• Select EMAIL for "Name ID Format"

9. Click "Finish", and then click "Ok" on the resulting dialog.

10. Finally, enable Steady in Google Workspace by selecting "ON for Everyone"

Test with Steady

1. Once we've received your configuration file, we'll enable SSO authentication for your account. You'll need to have the email addresses of the users in Steady match the users you have enabled for the application in Google Workspace.
2. You can test the configuration at https://app.steady.spacesaml/sign_in.
3. Once you've confirmed with us that the authentication is working as expected, we'll disable conventional login/password access for your account.

Provisioning users

We're working on provisioning users in Steady from Google Workspace automagically, but for now it's a two-step process for each user:

1. Add the user in Steady to the first team you want them in, making sure their email address is unique and the same one you have for them in Google Workspace (or skip this step if the user already exists in Steady)
2. Make sure the user is enabled in Google Workspace for the Steady app. (If you turned it "ON for everyone" you'll be all set.)
