Your organization is launching its first Google Cloud project. All employee identities currently reside in an on-premises LDAP directory. You need a Google-managed service that can import those accounts, organize them into groups, provide single sign-on to Google Cloud and other SaaS applications, and does not require purchasing Google Workspace productivity licenses. Which service should you deploy to satisfy these requirements?
Cloud Identity is Google's identity-as-a-service platform. It supplies a cloud directory for users and groups, supports synchronization from on-premises LDAP or Active Directory through Google Cloud Directory Sync, and includes built-in single sign-on to Google Cloud and thousands of SaaS applications. A standalone Cloud Identity subscription can be used without Gmail or other paid Workspace apps. Cloud IAM, Identity-Aware Proxy, and Managed Service for Microsoft AD all rely on an existing identity source and do not themselves provide a cloud directory for managing user and group objects across SaaS services.
