Frequently Asked Questions

Is this SAML or OAuth?

OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect for SSO — simpler than SAML and works out of the box with Google Workspace. For SAML specifically, see the Microsoft 365 or Okta integrations.

Do we need to be on Google Workspace Business or higher?

No. Any paid Google Workspace plan works, including Business Starter.

Will we lose access if Google Workspace is down?

You can still sign in with your Peoplifi password as a fallback. Admins can also force password-only mode during Google outages.
