# Asana introduces SAML authentication > For enterprise teams, Asana now offers SAML authentication. The app is also available in the Google Apps Marketplace, for easy deployment. Source: https://asana.com/inside-asana/saml-google-apps-marketplace ## SAML & Google Apps Marketplace _Update: As of December 15, 2016 SAML is now an_[Asana Enterprise](http://asana.com/enterprise)_feature._ If you use or want to use Asana at a company where enterprise-class IT requirements must be met prior to widespread adoption of any work tool (ie: a big company), we’ve made it much easier for you to onboard everyone quickly — and ease your IT department’s concerns. We’ve added support for two new ways to securely deploy Asana to your entire organization and manage user accounts. The first, SAML support, is available to [premium Asana users](https://asana.com/premium), while the second, account authentication via the Google Apps Marketplace, is available to all Asana users. We’re working to ensure that whatever identity management or IT requirements your company has, Asana not only meets them, but exceeds your privacy and security expectations. ## Seamless authentication and account management Large companies require enterprise-level features, and we’re proud that Asana offers a number of authentication solutions, which now include [SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)](https://developers.google.com/google-apps/sso/saml_reference_implementation). With SAML, companies (and IT departments) have full control over the authorization and authentication of hosted Asana user accounts. SAML connects Asana with many of the leading identity management service providers like Okta and OneLogin. In fact, we worked closely with them throughout the SAML development process to ensure that our solution addressed the needs of IT admins at large companies. With SAML, users invited to premium Asana Organizations who log into Asana will simply be redirected to their company’s login URL or service. If you’d like to take advantage of SAML today, make sure your team or company has upgraded to [the premium version of Asana.](https://asana.com/pricing)In addition to SAML and our existing Google for Work Single Sign-On capabilities, you’ll now find Asana in the Google Apps Marketplace. If your company is already using Google Apps, your Google Apps admin can now roll out Asana as they would any of the other cloud application in the Marketplace. Once installed, the Asana icon will be visible to everyone in your company’s Google Apps universal navigation bar, so all your most-used work tools are just a toggle away. Our Marketplace app is just another way we integrate with Google–we also offer a [Chrome Extension](https://asana.com/apps/chrome) and [Google Drive integration](https://asana.com/apps/google)in Asana. We know that you trust Asana with critical data, and we want to make it easier for you and your company to comfortably deploy Asana to everyone in your organization. With these additional offerings, you can ensure faster onboarding so you can start communicating with your team in Asana, right away. - [Asana Spring 2026 Release: Get more done, faster with AI that works with your entire team](/inside-asana/spring-release-2026) Product #### Content writer The Spring Release is here, and it's built around a problem every leadership team is wrestling with right now: most teams are already using AI, but organizational productivity isn ... - [Asana Winter 2026 Release: Reduce time from planning to delivery with customizable automations and prebuilt AI Teammates](/inside-asana/winter-release-2026) Product #### Content writer The Winter Release is here with a mission to help teams reduce the time that it takes to move from planning to delivery with customizable automations and prebuilt AI Teammates.
