BrowserStack SSO with Google OAuth

Integrate Google OAuth with BrowserStack to set up Single Sign-On.

Google’s OAuth integration with BrowserStack enables end-users to enable Google Sign-In for their BrowserStack account. Single Sign-on integrates an external user directory with your BrowserStack organization. This document describes how to configure Single Sign-on when Google is your identity provider.

Note: By enabling Google OAuth Single Sign-on, all the users in your organisation will be forced to login to BrowserStack using Google Sign-In.

Prerequisites

To set-up and use Google OAuth:

  1. Enterprise plan on BrowserStack.
  2. You need to have access to your Google account (GSuite or Google Apps)
  3. By default, a user account with Owner permissions can setup SSO on BrowserStack.
Note: If required, Owner can also allow SSO setup access to one of the Admin(s). Learn more

Supported features

The Google Apps & BrowserStack Single Sign-on integration currently supports the following features:

  • SP-initiated SSO (IDP dependent)
