To be able to sign in to AODocs, you must allow pop-ups from AODocs in your browser.
Some browsers block pop-ups by default. If you haven't yet allowed pop-ups from AODocs in your browser, you must deactivate the pop-up blocker.
Depending to the web browser you’re using, there are two ways to allow pop-ups:
- Manually (all compatible browsers): each user allows pop-ups from their own browser, from the AODocs sign in page. This must be done once only per browser profile.
- Automatically (Google Chrome only, all devices): a Workspace administrator can activate the setting for all users on their domain, from the Workspace console.

3. Select your account and follow the Google or Microsoft sign-in process.

5. Select Always allow pop-ups and redirects from [your domain] and then press Done.

6. Press Sign in with Google or Sign in with Microsoft again.
A pop-up opens indicating that you are being signed in, then closes.
You're in!
Single sign-on (SSO) and popups
If you use Single sign-on (SSO), for example Okta, to access AODocs, there should be no difference with respect to pop-ups. You still need to allow pop-ups.
Press Sign In, then allow pop-ups as described above.
Why do pop-ups appear intermittently?
To comply with the latest authentication APIs and best practices from Google and Microsoft, we’re revamping the sign-in mechanism in AODocs over several releases.
As a consequence of the first phase of this process, when you perform certain actions in AODocs, such as signing in (all users) or adding attachments in documents (Google users only), a pop-up may open then immediately close. This may re-occur about 45 minutes later.
There is no required user action.
Notes: We'll be working on removing the pop-ups over the next few releases.
Allow pop-ups on your domain (Workspace admins)
As a Workspace admin, you can allow pop-ups for all users on your domain.
If you don't do this, all users on your domain must allow pop-ups individually, as described above.
Important:
– You must be a Google Workspace admin to carry out this procedure. It takes place in the Google Workspace admin interface, not AODocs.
– To allow domain-wide pop-ups, all users on your domain must enable synchronization on their Chrome profile.
1. As a Workspace admin, access the Google Workspace Admin console: https://admin.google.com.
2. Open Devices > Chrome > Settings > Users & browsers.
3. Scroll down to Pop-ups, locally applied.
4. Enter one or both of the following URLs, depending on which instance (or instances) of AODocs you're using. Learn more: Find out which AODocs instance you're using.
https://aodocs.altirnao.com:443 (US instance)
https://eu.aodocs.app:443 (EU instance)
5. Press Save.
In all your users' Chrome settings, the "domain" icon indicates that pop-ups are allowed for each URL at the domain level.
