Review 

Google Social Login works differently depending on whether you have Self-Signup enabled on your account. Review the guidelines below to understand who will be able to use the Google Social Login option on your account.

If the Google Social Login is enabled and the account does NOT have Self-Signup enabled:

Users first need to be added to the Emtrain roster to be able to sign in with Google. Any user who has been added with an email address that is part of your company’s Google workspace will be able to log in with Google Social Login.

If a user has not been added to the Emtrain roster, they will not be able to log in with Google, even if their account is part of your company’s Google workspace.

If Google Social Login is enabled and the account HAS Self-Signup enabled:

Users will be able to sign up for or log into the account with any Google account, including personal @gmail.com addresses.
