Does LiteEntry work with Google Workspace?

Yes — everyone signs in with the Google account they already have, so there are no invitations to send and no passwords to issue.

LiteEntry uses Google to sign people in, both at the check-in screen and in the administration console. If your team is on Google Workspace, that means zero new credentials to issue — the account your staff already use for work is the one they use here.

If your organization runs on Microsoft 365, LiteEntry is not the right fit today. Microsoft sign-in is being built; tell us and we will let you know when it ships.

How sign-in works at the door

When somebody scans the display for the first time, their phone opens a page and asks them to sign in with Google. They pick their work account and press one button. That is the whole of their setup — after which every subsequent check-in is one tap.

There is no invitation email to send, no activation link to expire, and no new password to create. The Google account is the credential, and the password and two-factor settings already protecting it stay exactly as they are.

An administrator adds each person by name and work email — by hand or by uploading a CSV of names and emails — before their first scan. If somebody scans whose email is not on the list, they are told so and nothing is recorded.

Setting up as an administrator

Sign in with your Google account, create the organization, add a location, pair a display, and upload your members. About five minutes end to end. Setting up walks through each step.

Which Google accounts work

Both Google Workspace accounts (ending in your company domain) and personal Gmail accounts work the same way. LiteEntry verifies the email address against the list you uploaded, not the account type — so a contractor with a personal Gmail can check in as easily as a staff member with a work account, provided their email is on the list.

What about people without Google accounts

They cannot check in. LiteEntry does not offer a PIN, a swipe card, or a separate login — Google is the only identity provider today.

For most organizations this is not an obstacle, because most people already have a Google account. If a meaningful part of your team does not, that is the conversation to have before rolling it out.
