2. Navigate to the Single Sign On and then click on the G Suite option. Select the Enable G Suite checkbox to enable G Suite as your identity provider. Keep this page handy as you will need the ACS URL and Entity ID from here.

11. That's it. G Suite integration is complete now. Users with active G Suite login and necessary privileges will be able to login to your organization's UTunnel dashboard. However, the organization owner will be required to log in with his registered email and password, and not with a G Suite account.
