django-google-sso

What it is and what it does

Django Google SSO is a Django authentication backend that integrates Google OAuth 2.0 login into your Django Admin interface. It adds a "Login with Google" button to the admin login page with minimal configuration—just add the app to INSTALLED_APPS, configure your Google OAuth credentials, and run migrations. The package handles the full OAuth 2.0 flow including PKCE support, and can automatically create Django users from email addresses in allowable domains.

The package depends on django, google-auth, google-auth-httplib2, google-auth-oauthlib, and loguru. It requires Python 3.11+ and Django 5.0 or later. It works with popular Django Admin skins like Grappelli and Jazzmin. No template modifications are needed—the login button integrates directly into the standard Django Admin login page.

Use it for:

• Add Google login to a Django Admin interface for team members with corporate Google Workspace accounts.
• Auto-provision Django users from a specific email domain without manual account creation.
• Replace password-based admin authentication with OAuth 2.0 for improved security and compliance.
• Integrate Google SSO into a Django project that already uses Grappelli or Jazzmin admin skins.
• Enable single sign-on for a multi-tenant Django application using Google accounts as the identity provider.
