# Google SAML

Before getting started in Google, complete the following steps in Unleash to ensure you have access to the information you need:

- Navigate to the **Control Center** in Unleash and click on the **Sign-In**page.
- Under SSO, click **Configure**.
- Select **SAML** as the authentication method.
- Choose **Google** as your identity provider.

> [!NOTE]
> After SAML is configured, users will no longer be able to sign in using your existing SSO Identity Provider (such as “Sign in with Google”). All authentication will be routed exclusively through Google SAML, and alternate SSO methods will be disabled.

Once you've completed these steps, open your Google account and follow the instructions below.

## Step 1: Creating an App

- Navigate to your [admin console custom app page](https://admin.google.com/ac/apps/unified).
