Let people sign in with the Google account they already have. No new password to issue, no credential to reset, and new users are created and placed in the right groups on their first sign-in.
Password management is the largest single source of support requests on any internal learning platform. Google single sign-on removes it: employees on Google Workspace and students on a school Google account sign in with the account they already use every day, in one click.
For someone who already has an account on your platform, signing in with Google matches them by email address and signs them in. For a new person, an account is created from their Google profile, with their first and last name filled in and your platform's default role applied, so they land on their courses immediately rather than filling in a registration form. This also has a useful side effect for organizations: because email domain is one of the user group rule types, staff signing in with an organizational Google account are placed into the right group automatically at first sign-in, and any mandatory courses attached to that group are assigned to them without an administrator touching anything.
Learners use their existing Google account. There is no separate password for your platform to issue, store, or reset.
A new person's account is created from their Google profile with their name and your default role, so they reach their courses without a registration step.
Someone who already has a platform account is matched by email address, so enabling Google sign-in does not create duplicate records for people you have already onboarded.
Combined with email-domain group rules, sign-in places people into the right groups immediately, which in turn assigns any mandatory courses attached to those groups.
Google sign-in runs beside ordinary password sign-in, magic-link sign-on for organizations whose people arrive from an internal portal, and app-based two-factor authentication.
In the Google Cloud Console, create an OAuth client for your platform and copy its client ID and client secret.
In the Wisdom LMS SaaS Portal, open Integrations and add Google Single Sign-On.
Enter the client ID and client secret, then enable the integration.
Confirm the sign-in button appears on your login page and complete a test sign-in with a Google account.
If you want new Google sign-ins segmented automatically, create a user group with an email-domain rule for your organization's domain, and attach any courses that should be mandatory for it.
Email domain is one of the six group rule types, so someone signing in with an organizational Google account is placed into the matching group on first sign-in, with no manual assignment.
Learners reach the courses assigned to them using their existing work or school account, so your access rules take effect without a separate set of credentials to issue and manage.
Employees sign in with their existing work account, so a training rollout does not begin with distributing credentials and does not generate a queue of password reset requests in week one.
Institutions on Google Workspace for Education already have every student and staff member in an identity system. Sign-on reuses it rather than duplicating it.
Volunteers and staff sign in with the account they already have, which removes an onboarding step for people giving you limited time and no patience for a new password.
Agencies running on Google Workspace let staff use their official account, so access follows existing identity rather than a separate credential your team has to administer.
