Single Sign-On (SSO) with Google Workspace^™

First, we need to configure a new SAML app in your Google Workspace^™ admin console and download the Identity Provider Metadata to make configuring SmartDraw SSO easier.

1. Go to Google Admin Console website (admin.google.com) and sign-in with Google Workspace^™ admin credentials.
2. Go to home page (Main menu -> Home) and click Apps.
3. Select "SAML apps" option, and then click "+" sign.
4. Click "SETUP MY OWN CUSTOM APP" at the bottom of the page. You'll go through a series of steps which should mostly be self-explanatory.
5. At the "Service Provider Details" section, enter the following information:
   • ACS URL: https://cloud.smartdraw.com/sso/saml/login/[your-google-workspace-primary-domain]
     • For example: https://cloud.smartdraw.com/sso/saml/login/slateresearch.com
   • Entity ID: https://www.smartdraw.com/
   • Click "NEXT".

To complete the SSO configuration, we need to connect the entity URL and IDP data from Google to your SmartDraw license.

1. Login to your account at https://www.smartdraw.com/myaccount
2. Click on Licenses and Subscriptions.
3. Click on the license key you want to set up SSO for.
4. From the Identity Management section click on "Single Sign-On."

Filling in the SSO Form

Use the following details to complete the SSO configuration in your SmartDraw account.

• Your Domain: Google Workspace^™ client's domain

• Security Groups to Allow SmartDraw Access: Everyone

Click "SAVE CONFIGURATION" to complete the SSO configuration.
