Overview
The University of Idaho can provision Google accounts for @uidaho.edu employee to use approved Google Cloud services. This document describes the sign-in process. If you do not yet have access to Google cloud services, please discuss your needs with your TSP to see if an existing service can provide what you need. If nothing is identified, you can submit approval for the application here: I Have a Technology Need
Warning
Not all Google applications have been enabled, or are allowed to be used, without prior approval. For instance, the Gmail application has been restricted and cannot be accessed with your @uidaho.edu account. Incoming @uidaho.edu email will not be routed to Gmail.
Reminder: Approved file storage locations are documented here: https://support.uidaho.edu/TDClient/40/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=1670
When you are prompted to sign-in to a Google service enter your full email address on the Google sign-in page and click "Next".
You will be automatically redirected to the University of Idaho sign-in page where you will need to enter your email address and password to fully sign-in.
After completing the sign-in process you will be redirected back to the Google service and you will be signed in.
The use of Google services must comply with all University of Idaho policies including data classification and retention.
Note: the first time you sign-in you will see a "Welcome to your new account" page which includes a privacy notice.
Each service may also prompt you to accept the Terms of Use for that specific service. In this example the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Terms of Use are displayed.
You may see the error "Couldn't find your Google Account". There is currently a migration planned for existing @uidaho.edu Google accounts to be added to the service. If you get this error please contact us for assistance creating your account. Do not use the "Create account" link on the sign-in page.
