If you use a Gmail or Google Workspace email address and your plan supports SSO with Google, you can use the Sign in with Google button for one-click sign-in. As long as you stay signed in to your Google account (and don’t manually sign out of Harvest), you’ll also stay signed in to Harvest.

Require signing in with Google

If you’re an Administrator and your plan supports SSO with Google, you can require that your team signs in to Harvest using their Google account. To require signing in using Google:

1. Sign in to Harvest in a web browser using your Google account.
2. Head to Settings (top right).
3. In the Sign in security section, select Require sign in with Google.
4. Scroll down to Save settings.

What happens when I require sign in with Google?

When you enforce sign in with Google, anyone who isn’t currently signed in using their Google account will be signed out and required to sign in using Google. An email will also be sent to everyone on your account letting them know that they’re now required to sign in using their Google account.

If anyone on your team uses an email that’s not connected to a Google account, they won’t be able to sign in to Harvest. In order for them to sign in, their email in Harvest can be changed to an email address with a Google account.

Note: If you request a personal access token for Harvest's API prior to requiring sign-in with Google, you'll need to request a new token after you sign back in.
