Single Sign ON (SSO) for moodle with Google G suite

Dear All,

We want to setup SSO. Our Organization using google g suite for education also we have moodle. We already setup google course kit into moodle. Now we want to add the moodle into the google apps (see the screenshots).

After that when user clicks on that Icon, automatically it should redirect to the moodle dashboard page. It means that user will login through google directly. In our case, every user have google g suite account. 

New user should not be created only existing users will be able login successfully. If user directly type moodle url or visit the login page of moodle then by using moodle credentials also he/she can login to moodle.

Is there any plugin available in moodle to suite this? Or how we can achieve this?

No such plugin for moodle.
Would have to be done on Google end anyway.

See:

Work Around ... Google Sites

Create a single page google site that has only a link to your moodle.
If site is restricted to your domain users they have to login to
google to find the sites link and then click the only link in the page ...
that of your moodle.

Since they are already logged on to Google, Moodle should detect user
is already authenticated in Google and should not have to login again.

The following is open to all but yours could be restricted to your domain users.

Yes, it requires some clicks ... but ... free work-around.

Dunno how much it would cost to hire a Google Developer to build such an app.
