# Google SAML SSO

In this section, we will show you how to set up your own custom SAML application for Google SAML.

## Create Application

From your Google Admin console, click **Apps** from the sidebar then click **Web and mobile apps** from the list.

If your application is already created, choose it from the list and move to the section [Configure Application](#configure-application)

If you haven't created a SAML application, click **Add custom SAML app** from the menu.

## Attribute Mapping

Under the **Attributes** section, you have to configure the following attributes:

| App attributes | Google directory attributes |
| -------------- | --------------------------- |
| email          | Primary email               |
| firstName      | First name                  |
| lastName       | Last name                   |

See the screenshot below.

After you have configured the attributes, click **Finish** to save the configuration.
