New section for single sign-on settings for SAML applications
We’re making some updates to the settings you use to set up single sign-on for SAML applications. You may notice:
- The settings that apply to all SAML applications when Google is the Identity Provider (IdP) are now in their own section in Security settings at Admin Console > Security > Set up single sign-on (SSO) for SAML applications.
- The functionality is not changing but you will find a more streamlined experience for managing certificates and to download IdP metadata.

Getting started
- Admins: The new per-OU 2SV enrollment feature will be set to ON at the organization level (root OU) if and only if you had allowed 2SV enrollment for your organization prior to this launch, so that there is no change in behavior for your organization. After the launch, you can now change 2SV enrollment at an OU level. You can also use exception groups for 2SV enrollment settings, similar to how 2SV enforcement settings support them. Visit the Help Center to learn more about how to deploy 2-Step Verification for your organization.
- End users: There is no end user impact for the feature.
Rollout pace
- Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on May 20, 2020
Availability
- Available to all G Suite and Cloud Identity customers
