How to add a Google SSO to your CMS

This article goes through all the steps to configure Google Single Sign, a fast and secure way to log into the CultureSuite CMS.

Step 1: Request the Redirect URI from CultureSuite

1. Contact our Customer Success team to request the Redirect URI.

Step 2: Create the OAuth Client in Google Cloud

1. Go to console.cloud.google.com and create a new Project (e.g. Keycloak).

2. Navigate to APIs & Services → Credentials.

3. If prompted, configure the OAuth Consent Screen — fill in the required fields and save.

4. Click Create Credentials → OAuth client ID, select Web application and give it a name.

5. Under Authorized Redirect URIs, paste the Redirect URI received from CultureSuite.

6. Click Create.

7. Copy the generated Client ID and Client Secret from the confirmation popup.

📤 Client sends to CultureSuite: the Client ID and the Client Secret.

Step 3: CultureSuite configures the Google Identity Provider in Keycloak

Step 4: Verify the Integration

1. Open the CMS login page

2. Confirm that Sign in with Google appears as a login option.

3. The first time you log in, you are shown a message. This means your log in was succesfull, but you don’t have a CMS role yet (admin or user).
1. If you are the first (admin), please contact CultureSuite so we can set your admin role.
2. After that, you can configure roles for all your colleagues via the CMS users module after their first login.
