Logwiz supports Google OAuth as an additional sign-in method alongside the default username and password login. Once configured, a “Sign in with Google” button appears on the sign-in page. Users whose Google account email matches one of your allowed domains are automatically provisioned with the user role. If a Google account’s email matches an existing Logwiz account, the two are linked automatically.

​
Setup

1

Create OAuth credentials in Google Cloud Console

You will need a Google Cloud project. If you do not have one, create it at console.cloud.google.com before continuing.Go to the Google Cloud Console credentials page and create a new credential:
  • Application type: Web application
  • Authorized redirect URI: https://your-logwiz-url/api/auth/callback/google
Replace your-logwiz-url with the public URL of your Logwiz instance. After saving, copy the Client ID and Client Secret — you will need them in the next step.
2

Enter credentials in Logwiz

In Logwiz, go to Administration → Users and find the Google Auth section. Enter:
  • Client ID — from the Google Cloud Console
  • Client Secret — from the Google Cloud Console
  • Allowed Domains — one or more email domains whose users are permitted to sign in (e.g. company.com)
Only users with an email address ending in one of the allowed domains can sign in with Google. For example, adding company.com permits alice@company.com but blocks user@gmail.com. You can add multiple domains if needed.
You can also verify the Callback URL shown in this section matches the redirect URI you registered in Google Cloud Console.

Apply the configuration

Restart the Logwiz container to apply the new configuration:
docker compose restart logwiz
After the restart, the “Sign in with Google” button appears on the sign-in page.
Google auth configuration changes — including saving credentials, updating allowed domains, and removing Google auth — only take effect after a server restart.

​
Removing Google auth

To disable Google sign-in, go to Administration → Users → Google Auth and click Remove Google Auth, then restart the server: 
docker compose restart logwiz
After the restart, the Google sign-in button is removed from the sign-in page. Existing accounts that were linked via Google retain their Logwiz account but must use a password to sign in. If a user signed in exclusively via Google and has no password set, an admin can send them a password reset invite from the user management page.
