We want to log into Azure using our Google provided email is this possible?

Question

Hello,

We currently use G-suite to provide company email and identity. We want to login to the azure portal using this login as a single sign on.
Is this possible?

Answer 1

Hello,

Yes, this is certainly possible, and it is a very common scenario. You can create a federation between your Azure AD and Google, and allow users to login with Google accounts without the need to create Microsoft accounts or identities for them.

Here are a few resources that can help you with that:

Please let me know if this answered your question or if you need more information.

Thank you,

Thank you for your post!

Adding onto what @Vukasin Terzic mentioned, you can also integrate the Google Cloud (G Suite) Connector with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate Google Cloud (G Suite) Connector with Azure AD, you can:

• Control in Azure AD who has access to Google Cloud (G Suite) Connector.
• Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Google Cloud (G Suite) Connector with their Azure AD accounts.
• Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.
