Does signing into Google Workspace with SAML affect Datto SaaS Protection backups?

Environment

  • Datto SaaS Protection for Google Workspace

Answer

SAML should not affect backups within Datto SaaS Protection.

  • When you sign in to Google, use your SAML provider to log in and download the app.
  • Your SAML page will load when you click the Log In With Google button in Datto SaaS Protection. From there, you can log into Datto SaaS Protection. This is independent of Google Workspace backups.
  • If you experience login issues, check your SAML configuration.
