SSO with Google Workspace (GSuite) for your workspace

Note

If unified login is enabled, your workspaces will use the same SSO configuration as your account. Workspace-level SSO can only be configured when unified login is disabled. See Unified login.

This article shows how to configure Google Workspace (GSuite) as the identity provider for a Databricks workspace. To configure SSO in your Databricks account, see Set up SSO in your Databricks account console.
