Sign-in & Google SSO

Members sign in in one of three ways:

• Sign in with Google: with a Google Workspace or personal Google account.

• Email code: enter your email, then the 6-digit code we send you.

• Continue with SSO: through your company's identity provider, if your organization has set up custom SSO.

There's no Microsoft sign-in button yet. To use Microsoft Entra ID, set it up as a custom SSO provider.

Use the method your account already uses. If you try an email code on an account that uses Google, Anytype asks you to sign in with Google.

Google Workspace auto-join

Auto-join lets people with a Google Workspace account on your domain join your organization without an invitation.

• When it's on: organizations created with a Google Workspace account start with auto-join for the owner's domain. Organizations created with a personal Google account or email start without it.

• Role: people who join this way get the Member role. In Members, the Joined via column shows Google auto-join.

• Invitations: if someone on the domain has a pending invitation, they join with the invitation's role instead.

• Existing members: their email accounts on the domain are linked to Google the next time they sign in with Google.

• New email sign-ins: new people on the domain who try an email code are sent to Google.

• Removed members: can't rejoin through auto-join. They need a new invitation.

Change the auto-join domain

Only the owner can change this. Admins can see it but not edit it.

1. In the Admin Console, go to Settings → Google & Microsoft.

2. Enter the new Workspace domain and click Save.

3. Confirm the change.

Once you save a custom SSO connection, this tab becomes read-only and shows Managed by your custom single sign-on.

Confirm it's you

Some changes, such as sign-in settings, need a recent sign-in. If you see Confirm it's you, enter the 6-digit code sent to your email.

Sign-in problems

"Your access to this organization has been revoked"

An owner or admin removed you from the organization. Ask them to invite you again.

"This email already has an account that signs in with Google"

Your account uses Google, or your email domain uses Google Workspace auto-join. Click Sign in with Google.

"Your organization requires single sign-on"

Your email domain uses your organization's SSO. Click Continue with SSO.

"Your organization's free trial is full"

The trial has reached its member limit. Ask the owner, or an admin with billing access, to add a payment card.

"You have multiple pending invitations"

Several organizations have invited you. Open the invitation email from the one you want to join and click its link.
