I'm gearing up to enable Single Sign-On (SSO) with Entra ID as my identity provider. I've done some homework on the setup but wanted to reach out and see if anyone has encountered any hidden issues after going live. Any insights would be super helpful!

How big is your organization? Are you dealing with a small school or a large enterprise? You need to think about the number of privileged admins and if you're subject to any regulatory issues. Don't forget about backup plans; if your system goes down, how will you handle access? Auditors and continuity should be top of mind—it's tough to be the only admin on vacation and get flooded with calls!
I'm in the same boat! Can you share what setup you're planning to do? I heard that signing up for Google IAM can be pretty pricey at $7 per user per month.
Setting up Google Workspace SSO is free, though!
Definitely have a backup or 'break glass' account set up with Multi-Factor Authentication in Google Workspace using Google as the IDP—it's a lifesaver in emergencies!
We set up Entra ID SSO with Google Workspace and everything was smooth until it just stopped working. We've been working with support for nearly a month, and they still can't explain why the auth redirect to Entra ID failed out of the blue. Suddenly, users were prompted to sign in directly to Workspace instead.
We're actually just testing Azure AD for now, which is way cheaper, to be honest.
