Robin cloud application

You must be signed in as a super administrator for this task.

With Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), your users can sign in to enterprise cloud applications with their Google Cloud credentials.

Set up SSO via SAML for Robin

Step 1: Set up Google as a SAML identity provider (IdP)

Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using an account with super administrator privileges (does not end in @gmail.com).
In the Admin console, go to Menu AppsWeb and mobile apps.
Click Add appSearch for apps.
Enter Robin in the search field.
In the search results, hover over the Robin SAML app and click Select.
On the Google Identity Provider details page:
- Copy and save the SSO URL and the Entity ID.
- Download and save the Certificate.
Click Continue.
The Service provider details page shows the ACS URL and the Entity ID.
Click Signed Response.
Click Continue.

On the Attribute mapping page, click the Select field menu and map the following Google directory attributes to their corresponding Robin attributes:

Google directory attribute	Robin attribute
Basic Information > Primary email	Email
Basic Information > First name	FirstName
Basic Information > Last name	LastName

(Optional) To enter group names that are relevant for this app:
1. For Group membership (optional), click Search for a group, enter one or more letters of the group name, and select the group name.
2. Add additional groups as needed (maximum of 75 groups).
3. For App attribute, enter the groups attribute name of the corresponding service provider.
Regardless of how many group names you enter, the SAML response includes only groups that a user is a member of (directly or indirectly). For more information, go to About group membership mapping.
Click Finish.

Step 2: Set up Robin as a SAML 2.0 service provider (SP)

Open a new incognito browser window, and sign in to Robin as an administrator.
Go to Settings Integrations.
Scroll to SAML 2.0 and click Add.
From the Provider list, choose Custom.
Enter the following information:
1. SAML SSO URL: Enter the SSO URL you copied in step 1.
2. Identity Provider Issuer: Enter the Entity ID you copied in step 1.
3. Public Certificate: Open and paste the contents of the Certificate you downloaded from Google in step 1.
Click Save.

Step 3: Enable the Robin app

Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using an account with super administrator privileges (does not end in @gmail.com).
In the Admin console, go to Menu AppsWeb and mobile apps.
Select Robin.
Click User access.
To turn a service on or off for everyone in your organization, click On for everyone or Off for everyone, and then click Save.
(Optional) To turn a service on or off for an organizational unit:
1. At the left, select the organizational unit.
2. To change the Service status, select On or Off.
3. Choose one:
  - If the Service status is set to Inherited and you want to keep the updated setting, even if the parent setting changes, click Override.
  - If the Service status is set to Overridden, either click Inherit to revert to the same setting as its parent, or click Save to keep the new setting, even if the parent setting changes.
    Note: Learn more about organizational structure.
To turn on a service for a set of users across or within organizational units, select an access group. For details, go to Use groups to customize service access.
Ensure that your Robin user account email IDs match those in your Google domain.

Step 4: Verify that SSO is working

Robin supports both Identity Provider (IdP) initiated and Service Provider (SP) initiated SSO. Follow these steps to verify SSO in either mode:

IdP-initiated

Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using an account with super administrator privileges (does not end in @gmail.com).
In the Admin console, go to Menu AppsWeb and mobile apps.
Select Robin.
At the top left, click Test SAML login.
Robin should open in a separate tab. If it doesn’t, use the information in the resulting SAML error messages to update your IdP and SP settings as needed, then retest SAML login.

SP-initiated

Open a new incognito browser window and go to your Robin instance.
You should be redirected to the Google sign-in page.
Enter your username and password.
After your credentials are authenticated, you are redirected to Robin.
