Using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), your users can use their Google Cloud credentials to sign in to enterprise-cloud applications.

Set up SSO via SAML for InVisionApp

Here's how to set up single sign-on (SSO) via SAML for the InVisionApp application.

Step 1: Get Google identity provider (IdP) information

  2. From the Admin console Home page, go to Securityand thenSet up single sign-on (SSO) for SAML applications.

    You must be signed in as a super administrator for this task.

  3. In theSet up single sign-on (SSO) section:
    • Copy and save theSSO URL.
    • Copy and save the Entity ID.
    • Download the Certificate.

In the next step, you send this information to InVision via email. After they respond, you return to the Admin console in Step 3 below to finish SSO configuration.

Step 2: Set up InVisionApp as a SAML 2.0 service provider (SP)

Send an email to InVision support requesting a trial enterprise account. Include the following identity provider (IdP) information copied in Step 1:

  • SSO URL
  • Entity ID
  • Attach the certificate and the IDP metadata you downloaded in Step 1 as text file attachments to the email.

InVision will process your request and let you know when your trial account is set up. They will also provide you with the Service Provider URL you need to configure SSO in the Admin console in the next step.

    3. Enter the corresponding application attribute under App attributes.

  10. (Optional) If you want to send a user's group membership information in the SAML response, enter the group names that are relevant for this app in the Group membership field.
