Google SSO logins (Gsuite) are currently failing for small subset of customers who use Google OAuth to sign into Gainsight. To ensure uninterrupted access, we would like to propose an alternative approach using SAML authentication. We support SAML setup with any Identity Provider, including Azure, OneLogin and Google. Our team will be happy to guide you through this configuration. Please see the question “My Google SSO login into Gainsight is failing. What can I do?” in our FAQ for more info - https://communities.gainsight.com/community-news-2/salesforce-security-advisory-relating-to-gainsight-faqs-29809

All customers using Google SSO OAuth, are strongly advised to complete the steps in the FAQ item item “My Google SSO login into Gainsight is failing. What can I do?”— even if access to Gainsight is still functioning—to move to SAML based authentication.
