How to Enable and Manage SSO organization-wide in the Admin Console

October 1, 2025

Overview

One of the perks of Enterprise is Single Sign On for your organization. Before this can be turned on, make sure to reach out to your Sales Associate. Once SSO is Enabled, Two-Factor Authentication can’t be set up within your organization settings.

Tip: Every SSO provider does things differently, so this is a general guide. We have guides for several major SSO providers here:

Setting Up Single Sign On

  1. In the Admin Console, click on Security on the left-hand side of the page.

Additional SSO Options

In addition to the basic setup, there are extra settings you can enable for more control over how SSO works in your organization. These settings can be toggled on or off depending on your needs:

  • Allow Email Login for Licensed Users
    When this option is enabled, licensed users can log in using their email and password in addition to SSO. If you prefer stricter security and want users to only log in via SSO, you can keep this option disabled.

  • Require Single Sign-On for Guest Accounts
    This option enforces SSO for guest accounts. When enabled, guest users must sign in with SSO and cannot log in using email and password. If disabled, guest accounts will still have the flexibility to log in either with SSO or email and password.

Tip: If you would like to add more than one SSO provider, please contact your Account Manager. Multiple providers can also be configured.
