Enforcing Google Authentication Across Your Team

As a Team Administrator or Team Collaborator, you can make it mandatory for your team to log in using their official Google account. Enforcing authentication via Google offers the following advantages:

• Ensures that no outsider is added to a team.

• Allows you to leverage the OAuth flow, whereby only users authenticated via Google are included into the Hevo team.

• Eliminates the need to maintain a separate password for the Hevo app.

• Blocks any unauthorized access attempts by a user once their Google work account is disabled.

Once Google authentication is enabled, if a team member logs in using the email-password combination, Hevo displays an error.
