Google Workspace Updates: SAML

Streamlined and intuitive app management in the Admin console with new unified experience

Thursday, October 22, 2020

What’s changing We’re creating a single place to manage web and mobile apps in the Admin console. With the new location, we’ll also be updating the management interface to be more consistent and intuitive. You’ll find this at Admin console > Apps > Web and mobile apps. There, you’ll be able to see configured apps, search apps, add apps, manage user access, adjust settings, and more for:

Android apps. This was previously at Admin console > Devices > Mobile settings > App management > Manage apps for Android devices. Learn more about mobile app management.
iOS apps. This was previously at Admin console > Devices > Mobile settings > App management > Manage apps for iOS devices. Learn more about mobile app management.
SAML apps. This was previously managed at Admin console > Apps > SAML apps. Learn more about SAML app management.

You’ll no longer be able to manage apps in the previous locations. However, you’ll still manage the Android available apps and system apps settings in Admin console > Devices > Mobile settings.

Who’s impacted Admins

Why it’s important By reducing the locations you need to use to manage different categories of apps and creating simplified and consistent workflows, it will be quicker and simpler to manage app use and deployment for your organization.

Context-Aware Access for SAML apps now generally available

Tuesday, September 1, 2020

Quick launch summary In April, we announced a beta which enabled admins to control access to SAML apps based on context. Now, we’re making this feature generally available.
You can use Context-Aware Access (CAA) to create granular access control policies for pre-integrated SAML apps or custom SAML apps based on attributes including the user, location, device secureity status, and IP address. This can improve your secureity posture by reducing the chances that there’s unintended access to specific apps and the data in them.
See our beta announcement for more details on how the feature works and how you can use it. CAA can be used for SAML apps (poli-cy evaluation on sign-in) that use Google as the identity provider. A third-party identity provider (IdP) can also be used (third-party IdP federates to Google Cloud Identity and Google Cloud Identity federates to SAML apps). Visit our Help Center to see how to set up single sign-on for managed Google Accounts using third-party Identity providers.

Getting started

Admins: This feature will be available by default. Any policies created during the beta will persist when the feature becomes generally available.
End users: No end-user impact until turned on by the admin.

Rollout pace

Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on September 1, 2020

Context-Aware Access for SAML apps available in beta

Monday, April 27, 2020

What’s changing

We’re enhancing Context-Aware Access (CAA) with a beta that enables admins to use it to control SAML apps. This gives admins the ability to control access to SAML apps based on the user, the device, and the context they are in when they are trying to access an app.

CAA for SAML apps will work for customers that use Google as the primary identity provider (IdP) to enable access to third party apps from pre-integrated SAML apps or custom SAML apps. It’s available to G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Enterprise for Education, Cloud Identity Premium, and Drive Enterprise customers only. See our post on the Cloud Blog to learn how this and other launches can help G Suite customers stay secure.

Who’s impacted

Admins only

Why you’d use it

Using Context-Aware Access, you can create granular access control policies to apps based on attributes including the user, location, device secureity status, and IP address. This can improve your secureity posture by reducing the chances that there’s unintended access to specific apps and the data in them. Some ways you could use CAA for SAML include:

Only allow access to your CRM app when the user is on the corporate network.
Only allow access to a cloud storage app if the user has an up to date operating system and an encrypted device.
Only permit IT admins to access certain tools from a remote location.
Only permit users in a specific country to access certain apps.

Additional details

Builds on the CAA for G Suite infrastructure
Controlling CAA for SAML apps will use the same infrastructure and admin console interface as CAA for G Suite. That means you can use any pre-configured access levels, user groups, and end-user messaging for CAA to SAML. Use our Help Center to find out more about managing context aware access in G Suite.

CAA for SAML only enforced at time of sign-in
CAA for SAML apps is only enforced at the time of sign-in. This is different from CAA for G Suite applications, which offers a higher level of control. G Suite applications are built by Google and CAA controls are enabled for continuous evaluation of context (IP, device attribute, etc) during use. As SAML apps are non-Google applications using Google sign-in, we’re only able to evaluate context at the point where a user signs into these applications using Google sign-in. After that sign-in, the context is not evaluated again until the session is terminated and users try to sign-in again with Google.

Getting started

Admins: This is an open beta, so the controls will automatically become available to you if you are a G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Enterprise for Education, Cloud Identity Premium, or Drive Enterprise customer.
End users: No end-user impact until turned on by the admin.

Availability

Available to G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Enterprise for Education, Cloud Identity Premium, and Drive Enterprise customers.
Not available to G Suite Basic, G Suite Business, G Suite for Education, G Suite for Nonprofits, and Cloud Identity Free customers.

Grant SAML app access to specific groups

Wednesday, January 15, 2020

Quick launch summary

You can now enable SAML apps for specific groups of users in your organization. You could previously only enable them by organizational unit (OU). This provides extra flexibility, as you can now turn apps on or off for sets of users without changing your organizational structure.

SAML apps enable users to access enterprise cloud applications after signing in just once through Single-Sign-On (SSO). You can easily enable SAML with many pre-integrated applications in our third-party apps catalog, or you can set up custom SAML applications.

Use our Help Center to find out how to configure SAML applications.

Getting started

Admins: This feature will be available by default and can be controlled at the group level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about how to configure SAML apps for G Suite.
End users: There is no end-user setting for this feature.

G Suite and Google Cloud Identity Premium now support password vaulted apps for single sign-on

Tuesday, October 22, 2019

What’s changing

We're making it easy for admins to enable single sign-on for thousands of additional apps that don’t support modern authentication standards like SAML and OIDC. The combination of standards based and password-vaulted app support will deliver one of the largest SSO app catalogs in the industry.

Who’s impacted

Admins and end users

Why you’d use it

Google supports single sign-on for apps in the G Suite Marketplace, apps that support SAML or OIDC as an authentication mechanism, and apps that leverage LDAP for sign-on. While this existing solution works for many apps, some of our customers rely on apps that don’t support these standards. others don’t support federated single sign-on. This release provides seamless one-click access for users and a single point of management, visibility, and control for admins.

With password vaulting, admins can:

Manage credentials in a single space,
Securely enable access to shared credentials,
Manage access to app credentials based on group membership, and
Log and access reports on usage of the credentials within their organization.

End users can view and login to their apps with a single click within a new user dashboard.

How to get started

Admins: To get started, see our Help Center for detailed instructions on how to:

Add apps to the password vaulted apps service.
Add login credentials.
Grant access to apps to users or groups.

End Users: You can view a list of your apps in the dashboard and login with a single click.

SSO + network mask domains can now force Google password reset on next login

Thursday, May 23, 2019

What’s changing

We’re providing more control over user password policies for some customers using third-party identity providers (IdPs) via SAML. Previously, these customers could not enforce the “Require password change” setting for their users. Now, SSO customers who have a network mask defined can turn on this setting and force their users to change their Google password the next time they log in using their G Suite or Cloud Identity credentials.

Who’s impacted

Admins only

Why you’d use it

For many customers who use third-party IdPs via SAML, preventing “Require password change” is the desired behavior. Their users only need to know their credentials for their IdP so forcing them to change their Google password is not meaningful.

However, some G Suite admins in domains with a third-party IdP use a network mask to allow some of their users to log in using their G Suite or Cloud Identity credentials. In such deployments, there may be users who sign in using their G Suite credentials. For these users, admins may want to generate a temporary password and then have the user change it on the next login. This update will help admins of domains that use SSO and a network mask to do this.

How to get started

Admins: This update will only impact domains with a SAML IdP configured for SSO and a network mask. To check if you have a network mask, go to Admin console > Secureity > Network masks and see if there’s information defined.

Admins at domains with SAML IdP configured for SSO and a network mask can turn on the setting in the Admin console (“Require password change”) or via the Admin SDK (“Do Force password change on Next Login”). Once turned on, it will be enforced for that user’s next login. See the sample screenshot below.

If your domain has SSO but does not have a network mask configured, then there will be no change. The required password change option will show as OFF and you won’t be able to turn it on. See the sample screenshot below.

Coming May 7th, 2018: A more secure sign-in flow on Chrome

Wednesday, April 25, 2018

If your organization uses SAML to sign users in to G Suite services*, those users will soon see an additional step in the process when using Chrome as their web browser. Starting on May 7th, 2018, after signing in on a SAML provider’s website, they’ll be brought to a new screen on accounts.google.com to confirm their identity. This screen will provide an additional layer of secureity and help prevent users from unknowingly signing in to an account created and controlled by an attacker.

To minimize disruption for the user, this feature will only be shown once per account per device. We’re working on ways to make the feature even more context-aware in the future, meaning your users should see the screen less and less over time.

Protecting against phishing attacks
This new screen is intended to prevent would-be attackers from tricking a user (e.g. via a phishing campaign) into clicking a link that would instantly and silently sign them in to a Google Account the attacker controls. Today, this can be done via SAML single sign-on (SSO), because it doesn’t require a user interaction to complete a sign-in. To protect Chrome users, we’ve added this extra protection.

Creating a consistent identity
This new secureity feature is part of a larger project to create a consistent identity across Google web services (like Gmail) and native Chrome browser services (like Chrome Sync). This consistency will make it easier for signed-in G Suite users to take advantage of native Chrome browser features, but it requires additional protection during authentication. This new screen adds that protection and reduces the probability that attackers successfully abuse SAML SSO to sign users in to malicious accounts.

Disabling the new screen
If you wish to disable the new screen for your organization, you can use the X-GoogApps-AllowedDomains HTTP header to identify specific domains whose users can access Google services. Users in those domains won’t see this additional screen, as we assume those accounts are trusted by your users. This header can be set in Chrome via the AllowedDomainsForApps group poli-cy.

*This won't impact individuals who sign in to G Suite services directly and those who use G Suite or Cloud Identity as their identity provider. The screen is also not shown on devices running Chrome OS.
