How to Enable/Disable Google Single Sign-On (SSO) for Your Classroom

If your learners already use Google services, there's no reason to make them remember another password to log in to your classroom. With ProProfs Training Maker, you can let learners log in using Google Single Sign-On (SSO) - making access faster, more secure, and easier to manage.

This is especially useful when:

• Your organization uses Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)

• You want to simplify access for large teams or external learners

• You're preparing for SCORM-based training or API integrations where user identity needs to stay consistent

What Google SSO Does (and Doesn't Do)

• Allows learners to sign in using their Google credentials
• Reduces login errors and password reset requests
• Speeds up access across courses, quizzes, and classrooms
• It does not auto-enroll users into specific groups or learning paths. These must be managed separately.

Google SSO is ideal for organizations looking for secure, low-friction access without custom IT setups.

 

Here's how to Enable/Disable Google Single Sign-on (SSO) for your classroom:

Step 1: On your ProProfs Training Maker dashboard, go to the Classroom, click the three vertical dots or the kebab menu icon of a classroom, and open it for editing.

Step 2: Go to Welcome Screen > Registration Form and find the option "Allow registration via Google." You'll see it's enabled by default. Now, if you wish to disable Google SSO, toggle it to OFF.

Once done, save.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I restrict SSO access to specific email domains (e.g., only company users)?
Currently, Google SSO in ProProfs allows any Google account to sign in. If you want to limit access to only users from a specific domain (e.g., @yourcompany.com), you'll need to pre-screen users via registration form fields or group invite codes. Domain-level restrictions are not enforced automatically.

2. Will learners still be able to sign in with email and password if SSO is enabled?
Yes. Enabling Google SSO does not block traditional login methods. Learners can choose to log in using their Google account or use the email/password they registered with.

3. Can we enable Google SSO for one classroom but use another SSO method (like Azure) elsewhere?
Yes. SSO settings are classroom-specific. You can enable Google SSO for one classroom and use a different authentication method, like Azure SSO or manual registration, in another.

4. How does Google SSO affect SCORM reporting or LMS integrations?
Google SSO only handles authentication. It does not impact how course completions, quiz results, or SCORM tracking data are captured. ProProfs' built-in tools manage that reporting regardless of how the user logs in.

5. What happens if a learner signs up with Google SSO but later tries to reset their password?
If a user signed in only through Google SSO, a traditional password will not be set in the system. Instead of resetting a password, the user should continue using the Google sign-in option. If email login is required later, an admin can manually set a password from the user's profile.
