Google Single Sign-On for ClickUp
Using Google single sign-on with ClickUp lets your team log in quickly and securely with existing Google accounts. This guide explains the prerequisites, setup steps, and management options so you can confidently enable Google SSO in your Workspace.
Before you enable Google SSO in ClickUp
Make sure your Workspace meets these requirements before turning on Google single sign-on.
Eligibility and access in ClickUp
- You must be a Workspace owner or admin to manage single sign-on settings.
- You need access to the Security & Permissions area in your Workspace settings.
- Your team members should already have Google accounts that match their Workspace email addresses.
Supported Google account types
Google SSO in ClickUp can be used with:
- Standard @gmail.com accounts
- Google Workspace domains managed by your organization
To avoid login conflicts, each person should use the same email address for both their Google account and their ClickUp user profile.
How to connect Google SSO in ClickUp
Once the requirements are met, follow these steps to turn on Google single sign-on for your Workspace.
Step 1: Open ClickUp security settings
- Sign in to your Workspace using your existing login method.
- Select your avatar or Workspace settings icon.
- Open the Security & Permissions section.
- Locate the area dedicated to authentication or single sign-on providers.
Step 2: Enable Google SSO for ClickUp
- Find the option labeled Google SSO or Sign in with Google.
- Turn the toggle or checkbox on to allow sign-in with Google.
- Review any prompts or confirmations about changing login behavior for Workspace members.
- Save your changes to activate Google SSO in ClickUp.
After saving, users in the Workspace will see the Google sign-in option on the login screen.
Step 3: Test the Google sign-in flow
- Sign out of your current ClickUp session.
- On the login page, choose Continue with Google or the equivalent button.
- Select the Google account that matches your ClickUp email address.
- Confirm that you are successfully signed in to the correct Workspace.
Run this test with at least one admin account and one standard member account to confirm that access works as intended.
How team members use Google SSO in ClickUp
After you enable Google authentication, your team can quickly sign in without entering a separate password.
Standard login steps for ClickUp users
- Navigate to the ClickUp login page.
- Select the Continue with Google button.
- Pick the correct Google account from the list, or sign in if prompted.
- Authorize access if Google asks for confirmation.
When the Google address matches an existing user profile, the person is routed directly into their ClickUp Workspace.
Switching between email and Google login
Some people may want to move from email-and-password login to Google sign-in.
- If the user’s email address is the same in both systems, they can simply begin using Continue with Google.
- If the address differs, update their user email in Workspace settings before they switch to Google SSO in ClickUp.
This alignment helps eliminate duplicate accounts and reduces confusion during login.
Managing Google SSO security in ClickUp
Enabling Google single sign-on centralizes user authentication, but you still control how it is applied in your Workspace.
Enforcement options for ClickUp login
Depending on your plan and configuration, you may be able to require Google SSO for all members.
- Open Security & Permissions in your Workspace settings.
- Look for a policy option that enforces SSO for every user.
- Turn on enforcement so that members must log in through Google rather than local passwords.
This approach improves consistency and leverages your organization’s existing Google security policies.
Removing or limiting Google access
If you need to remove a person’s access to ClickUp while keeping their Google account active, manage that change through Workspace settings.
- Open your members or people settings area.
- Deactivate or remove the user’s ClickUp account.
- Verify that they no longer appear in Workspace member lists.
When an account is removed inside ClickUp, that user cannot access your Workspace even if they still have a valid Google login elsewhere.
Troubleshooting Google SSO issues in ClickUp
Occasionally, users may run into problems when trying to sign in with Google. These actions can help resolve common issues.
Common sign-in problems
- Wrong Google account selected: The user chooses a personal Gmail instead of the business account tied to ClickUp.
- Email mismatch: The email address in their user profile does not match the Google address.
- Access removed: Their Workspace access has been revoked while the Google account remains active.
Quick fixes for ClickUp login errors
- Ask the user to confirm they are using the email address listed in their Workspace profile.
- Have them log out of all Google accounts in the browser, then sign in only with the correct one.
- Check member status in ClickUp and make sure their account is active.
- If needed, update the user’s email address in Workspace settings to align with the Google account.
If problems continue, direct admins to compare current documentation with the original instructions from the ClickUp Help Center.
