# Configure SSO for your status page with Google

Configure SSO to enable access to your Statuspal status page through your Google Workspace account.

## 1. Enable SSO on your Statuspal organization

1. Head to your Statuspal admin site at [statuspal.io/admin](https://statuspal.io/admin).
2. Click the **Gear icon** next to your organization and select **Security**.
3. Check **Enable SAML authentication** and click **Save**.
4. Click **New SSO setting** and leave this tab open — you'll need the ACS URL and Entity ID in the next step.

## 2. Configure a SAML app in Google Workspace

1. Go to your [Google Admin Console](https://admin.google.com).
2. Navigate to **Apps > Web and mobile apps** from the sidebar.\

3. Click **Add app > Add custom SAML app**.
4. Name the app after your status page (e.g. "Acme Status") and click **Continue**.
5. Click **Download Metadata** and save the XML file — you'll need it in step 3. Click **Continue**.
6. Paste the **ACS URL** and **Entity ID** from your Statuspal SSO settings into the corresponding fields, then click **Continue**.
7. Click **Finish**.
8. Click **User access**, then select a group you belong to from the left sidebar to grant yourself access.
9. Set **Service status** to **ON** and click **Save**.\

## 3. Finish SSO setup in Statuspal

1. Open the downloaded metadata XML file in a text editor and copy its full contents.
2. Paste the XML into the **IDP metadata** field in your Statuspal SSO setting and click **Update**.
3. Click **Test SAML configuration** to verify the setup. A successful test looks like this:\

{% hint style="info" %}
After saving your SSO setting, contact Statuspal support via live chat or at <support@statuspal.io> to have your SSO setting enabled.

Once the test passes, check the **Require SSO** checkbox to enforce SSO for all team members.
