Could not find Google OAuth client ID in discourse admin setting

Product Support

AI-generated summary

A user, lucky8six, reports being unable to find the Google OAuth client ID and secret settings in the Discourse admin panel, despite following instructions. NateDhaliwal suggests searching under /admin/site_settings and confirms the settings are visible. lucky8six clarifies the issue persists even after searching. NateDhaliwal and Jagster suggest the absence of Google OAuth options is due to the user’s 14-day free trial plan, which only allows local authentication. NateDhaliwal recommends upgrading to a higher plan for access to additional features.

hi thanks for the fast response. I did tried search the last 15 minutes but not able to find.

As you can see in the picture i uploaded, only Linkedin client ID and Linkedin client secret appeared only but there is no google client ID.

It was quite frustrating, hereby asked here if anyone could help ?

Try searching for it under /admin/site_settings, not under a specific category. I see it just fine.

yes i am at /admin/site/setting and i still couldnt locate the google oauth ID.
Can you kindly double check if its the same as what you seen base on the picture i uploaded?

perhaps is it due to i signup as 14 days free (US$20) thats why the google Oauth did not appeared?

Most likely. See here:

The image shows a selection of authentication options, with "Google" highlighted in red among other methods like Discord, Facebook, GitHub, Twitter, and local login. (Captioned by AI)

There isn’t any issue, I reckon. Your subscription allows only local one.

Or perhaps, you could upgrade your plan/trial on a higher plan. See Discourse pricing | Discourse - Civilized Discussion.
