How can I configure SSO in the Google Cloud Console?

Create a Google project, enable the Drive API, create OAuth credentials and verify your domain.

3 min read Last updated: 30 September 2026

This configuration must be done by the myschool account administrator. If you use a Google Workspace account, the Google Cloud Console must be enabled for you by your Workspace administrator.

1. Create a project

  1. Open the Google Cloud Console and sign in with your Google account.

  2. Under Authorized redirect URIs, enter https://<your-school-domain>/authenticate, then click Create.

Note: If you are setting up Single Sign-On for more than one school, enter each URL on a new line in the same format.

The consent screen is shown to a user the first time they sign in with Google. It tells the user which permissions are being granted to the application.
