Sign In with Google

"Sign In with Google" provides employees with a convenient, secure, and efficient way to access the Employee Portal using their existing Google credentials, eliminating the need to remember additional passwords. 

This single sign-on feature enhances productivity by streamlining the login process, supports seamless integration with Google Workspace tools, and improves security through centralized authentication, including options such as multi-factor authentication provided by Google. 

It also reduces IT support tasks related to password resets and access management, ultimately providing a smoother user experience and increasing employee engagement with HR services. 

How it works

The "Sign in with Google" feature works by leveraging Google's OAuth 2.0 protocol to authenticate employee users securely. Instead of managing separate usernames and passwords, employees authenticate with their Google account credentials on Google's secure login page. Once Google's identity verification is successful, HRPro uses the authenticated Google account information (typically the email address) to log the employee into the portal.

Enable the "Sign in with Google" button

In Employee Portal Setup, General tab. Under the Login panel. In "Allow Login Employee Portal by", enabled "Sign in with Google".

Disable "Sign in with Google" for individual employees

Admins can disable the "Enable Sign in with Google" option for individual employees by navigating to Employee Master > EPortal tab, under the User Permissions and Roles panel.

The Gmail address used for login must be recorded in the Employee Master under either the 'Email' or 'Personal Email' fields to ensure successful authentication.

Employee Portal Log Screen

A button "Sign in with Google" will appear on the login page. Users simply click the button on the login page and authenticate using their Google Account credentials. 

The system verifies the Google email address and matches it with the employee's email stored in the HRPro's Employee Master records. Once authenticated, users gain immediate access without needing to enter a separate password for the portal, making login quick and secure. 

The process is seamless and reduces login friction by leveraging Google’s secure authentication infrastructure to achieve the Single Sign-On (SSO).

"Sign in with Google" offers an alternative login method for the Employee Portal. When enabled, users can still access the portal using their usual User ID and Password in addition to signing in with their Google account.

Requirements for using "Sign in with Google"

• HTTPS protocol: The Employee Portal URL must be accessed using the HTTPS protocol.

• Internet Connectivity: As "Sign in with Google" is a cloud-based authentication service, a stable internet connection is required.

• Using the HRPro Shared Client ID: If you want to use the HRPro shared Client ID, we must apply for Google authorization by registering your website URL with Google through us. This process ensures that your website is authorized to use the shared Client ID securely and comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 requirements.

•  Using Your Own Google Workspace Credentials: Organizations that prefer to use their own Google Workspace credentials  must obtain a separate Google API Client ID in your Workspace for your site. More details can be found at Get your Google API client ID  |  Web guides  |  Google for Developers.
