  2. Click Connect Google Workspace
  3. Review the privacy notice and click Accept & Continue
  4. Sign in with your Super Admin account

Setup details
SSO integration requires admin access on your identity provider. If you don’t have it, share the setup guide with your IT team.

​
Step 4: Deploy the browser extension

The extension catches apps that don’t send invoices and aren’t in your IdP — shadow IT, AI tools, and apps accessed via personal accounts. It also reports all installed browser extensions for risk scoring.
1

Install from the Chrome Web Store

Search for “Porcia” in the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome
2

Sign in with your Porcia account

Click the Porcia icon in the toolbar and sign in

Roll out to your team

For org-wide deployment, use Chrome Enterprise or MDM to force-install. See the installation guide for deployment scripts and policy templates.

Upcoming renewals, inactive licenses, redundant apps, total spend
