There are a few steps involved in setting up the link with Google SSO. First you need to ensure you have selected your ID provider within the library system. Once you have done this, ensure you keep the library system open and carry out the other setup steps in another browser window as you will need to swap between them.
First you will need to Set up the link between your Google SSO portal and the library system.
Once the link has been set up, you will need to ensure there is a link between your borrowers accounts in the library system and their SSO account.
The easiest and most convenient way is to make sure that the borrower's email address is populated in their record card, If this information is present then the SSO system will match the records and facilitate the sign on. This can be done using either a CSV or your automatic system.
If you use the automatic system, once you have set it up to import email addresses, you will never need to adjust it, each time new borrowers arrive in the management system they will be automatically added to the library system with their email address and the SSO will work straight away.
You can check the link by opening a borrower record card and ensuring there is an email address populated in the 'E-Mail' box.
If you would like to check this for all borrowers, you can do an advanced search for 'E-Mail Is Empty', this will then give you a list of all borrowers that will not match.
It is important to note that this field must be unique, if there are two borrowers with the same email address, there is a chance the they will get mixed up when logging in.
If you do not want to have this information in the record card, you can authorise a link from the SSO portal and setup the scheduled task in the library system or you can export a CSV from your Google SSO portal and import it into the library system.
Once one of these three methods have been carried out and your borrowers are linked, you are set up and your borrowers will now be able to SSO into the library system.
