To start, you'll need to have an enterprise plan with Pastel. If you don't have one, please click on the chat box in the right-hand corner and reach out to get started.

Once that is complete, follow these instructions to set up your Pastel SAML SSO login with Google.

  1. Follow the instructions from the following Google help article in order to set up a custom Google SAML for your Google organization. Then, refer back to here to get specifics on what to do during that process.

  2. When adding the app name, name it "Pastel" or something similar.

  3. You will see an option to copy over SSO URL, entity ID (Identity provider issuer), and certificate to Pastel. Paste those values in the SSO settings area within Pastel.

  4. Set Name ID format to"EMAIL" and "Name ID" to "Basic Information -> Primary Email".

  5. You'll want to click "Add mapping" in order to send Pastel some basic information about each user as per the following image

  6. Once you've copied the corresponding fields over, you're good to go! Give it a try by logging into Pastel through your Google dashboard. From here, you'll be able to enable login access to Pastel to your team through Google as you normally would.

Important note: after SAML SSO is set up, only the team owner will have the ability to sign into Pastel via email and password. Everyone else on the team will only be able to access Pastel via SSO (i.e. no login via email and password), as long as SSO is enabled for your team.
