    • Download the Certificate.
  7. Click Continue.

    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.

  12. Click Finish.

  1. In a new browser window, go to https://yourcompany.pipedrive.com/auth/sso.

    You should be automatically redirected to the Google sign-in page.
