# SSO & Authentication

**Location:** Settings -> SSO & Authentication

Single Sign-On (SSO) and Directory Sync are enterprise features that enable centralized authentication and automated user management for your workspace.

#### Single Sign-On (SSO)

Configure SAML or OAuth-based authentication to allow workspace members to sign in using your organization's identity provider.

**Enterprise Authentication capabilities:**

* **SAML 2.0 and OAuth 2.0 support** — Industry-standard authentication protocols
* **Automatic user provisioning** — New users gain access without manual invitation
* **Centralized access control** — Manage access through your existing identity provider
* **Enhanced security with MFA** — Leverage your organization's multi-factor authentication policies

**Supported Identity Providers:**

* Okta
* Azure AD (Entra ID)
* Google Workspace
* OneLogin
* Ping Identity
* JumpCloud
* Generic SAML
* Generic OIDC

Additional providers include: ADP OpenID Connect, Auth0, CAS SAML, ClassLink SAML, Cloudflare SAML, and custom SAML/OIDC configurations.

#### Configuring SSO

**Prerequisites:** Your organization must have a verified domain before activating Single Sign-On. Contact your account manager or <support@alludium.ai> if domain verification is needed.

**Configuration steps:**

1. Navigate to **Settings -> SSO & Authentication**
2. Click **Configure SSO in Admin Portal**
3. Select your identity provider from the available options
4. Follow the setup wizard to configure SSO settings specific to your provider
5. Test the connection before enabling for your team
6. Enable SSO for workspace access

Once configured, workspace members will authenticate through your organization's identity provider rather than maintaining separate Alludium credentials.

#### Directory Sync

Automatically sync users and groups from your identity provider to keep workspace membership aligned with your organizational directory.

**Automated User Management features:**

* **Automatic user provisioning and deprovisioning** — Users added or removed from your directory automatically gain or lose workspace access
* **Group-based role assignment** — Map directory groups to the workspace roles supported by your workspace
* **Real-time synchronization** — Changes in your directory reflect immediately in Alludium
* **SCIM 2.0 protocol support** — Industry-standard protocol for identity management

**Benefits:**

* Eliminates manual user management overhead
* Ensures workspace access stays current with organizational changes
* Reduces security risk from orphaned accounts
* Maintains compliance with access control policies

**To configure Directory Sync:**

1. Navigate to **Settings -> SSO & Authentication**
2. Scroll to the **Directory Sync** section
3. Click **Configure Directory Sync**
4. Follow the setup wizard to establish the connection
5. Map your directory groups to Alludium workspace roles
6. Activate synchronization

#### Getting Help

SSO and Directory Sync are enterprise features. Contact your account manager or <support@alludium.ai> for assistance with configuration, troubleshooting, or questions about enterprise authentication capabilities.
