Scalefusion Dashboard now allows users to sign in with their GSuite account. If you are using a GSuite account in your organization, then you and your admins can seamlessly migrate to sign in to Dashboard with your GSuite account.
In this document, we will see how to migrate an existing account to sign in using GSuite.
Before You Begin
- A valid Scalefusion Dashboard account
- A valid GSuite account ID
- For resetting password,
- the Reset password feature should be enabled for the account
- The logged in user is Google Workspace type of user
- Google Workspace account holder should have permission to manage users
Steps
In a nutshell, migration would require the following action(s):
- Sign In using GSuite ID: This is the first step to start the migration.
- Navigate to https://scalefusion.com
- Log out of the Scalefusion Dashboard if you are already signed in.
- Click Login on the Scalefusion landing page.
- Click on the Get Started with Google Workspace button
- You will be redirected to the Google Sign-In page
- Please enter your GSuite credentials (username and password) and complete the sign-in process,
- Next, you will be taken to a Thank you page where you will have to create a security PIN.
- Navigate to https://scalefusion.com
- Creating a Security PIN: A security PIN helps in authorizing certain actions on the Dashboard, which will require a two-step confirmation. This helps prevent accidental deletes/edits of important data from the Dashboard. To create a Security PIN, please complete the steps below,
- Name: We try and fetch the name from the GSuite username. You can Add/Edit the name.
- Phone Number: We try and fetch the phone number from GSuite credentials. Here you can edit the phone number.
- Create New PIN/Confirm PIN: Choose a 6-digit PIN that will be required to authorize certain actions on the Dashboard as and when required.
- Click ACCESS NOW to complete the migration and start accessing the Dashboard.
- Once you have completed these two steps, you can now start using GSuite credentials to sign in to Scalefusion.
Migration for Existing Administrators
There is no specific action required from an Owner/Co-Account Owner to handle the migration for existing Administrators. All your existing Administrators can access the Scalefusion Dashboard either using the Scalefusion account that was created earlier OR they can use Sign-In using the GSuite option and migrate as per the steps described above.
Inviting Administrators to Manage Scalefusion Dashboard
When you are inviting new Administrators to manage the Scalefusion Dashboard, you can choose how they should be invited to access the Scalefusion Dashboard. To invite a new administrator, please follow the steps below,
- Navigate to Admin & Roles

- Admin Type: Select a preference on how the admin should join/activate the Scalefusion Dashboard access. The Invitation email will be sent based on the Admin type. The options are,

- Create Scalefusion Account: Use this option if you are inviting an admin who is outside your organization's domain.
- Click SUBMIT once you have provided all the information.Note:
- Even though you have invited an admin to create a Scalefusion account, if the administrator has access to your organization's GSuite, then they can use the Sign In/Sign Up using the GSuite option to register to Scalefusion. The Admin Type helps in guiding them to use the correct Sign-Up method.
- The option to choose Admin Type will only be visible if you have Signed Up using GSuite.
- Admin Type cannot be edited once the Administrator Signs up to the Dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Why are we required to set a Security PIN when using GSuite accounts?

Answer: Navigate to View and Edit Profile > Change Pin to change the Pin.
