Configure provisioning for G Suite with Zoho Directory

Configure provisioning for G Suite with Zoho Directory

User provisioning with G Suite enables you to provision and deprovision users in G Suite from the Zoho Directory Admin Panel, allowing you to use Zoho Directory as a single source of truth. To get the most out of this integration, you can also set up single sign-on (SSO). SSO allows your organization's users to easily access G Suite without having to sign in to it separately.
