Does anyone have experience with integrating the SSO capability with Google Suite. Specifically I am wondering if the Google permissions override the Airtable permissions or is this integration just to allow users to use the same login for both services.

Thank you in advance.

It just allows the user to have one login for both services (Google and Airtable). You would still control their Airtable permissions within Airtable.

Also note that if you just need SSO for the purposes of securely logging into a form (for creating or updating Airtable records), the cheapest & easiest way to handle this is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

With Fillout, you can create a login page for your form, which will give you these options:

  1. You can restrict the logins by SSO.
  2. You can restrict the logins by email domain.
  3. You can restrict the logins by password.
  4. You can restrict logins based on a pre-approved list of email addresses that you have stored in your Airtable base.
  5. You can verify & confirm that the user is typing in a valid email address.
  6. You can limit form entries to one entry per person.

After the user logs in using your login page, that will let Fillout know who the user is and what the user’s email address is.

You can use this information to automatically prefill other fields on your form based on who logged into your form, and you can even use this information to do other advanced tricks with Fillout.

For example, you could use Fillout’s advanced filtering features to filter your linked record fields to only show the user the linked records that they are allowed to see.

And Fillout offers lots of other advanced features for Airtable as well, such as the ability to:

  • Update existing Airtable records using a form
  • Display Airtable lookup fields & Airtable attachment fields on forms
  • Create new linked records on a form
  • Create PDF documents from form submissions, and then attach those PDF files to the Airtable record

I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

Hope this helps!
