Manage single sign-on (SSO) login settings

Learn how to manage SSO login settings for your SafetyCulture organization to control how users access the platform and ensure secure, streamlined authentication across your team.

What SSO settings are available?

To tailor the SafetyCulture authentication flow to something that makes the most sense to your organization, you can manage SSO settings to shape how your users log in to the platform.

Login type

The login type setting controls whether your users can use their own SafetyCulture account password or can only log in via SSO.

Enforce SSO for named domains

This setting prompts users to log in via SSO or their SafetyCulture account password based on their account email. This is the default login type when setting up a new connection.

  • If a user's email domain matches the ones configured for their organization's SSO connection, they can only log in using their SSO account.Log into your SafetyCulture account via SSO if your email address matches your organization's enforced domains.

  • If a user's email domain doesn't match the ones configured for their organization's SSO connection, they can log in using their password and still have the option of using their SSO account if it applies to them.Log into your SafetyCulture account via account password or SSO if your email address doesn't match your organization's enforced domains.

Allow SSO and native login

This setting allows users to choose between logging in with their SSO account or their SafetyCulture account password. An example of logging in to the web app when the SSO login type is set to 'Allow SSO and native login".

Allow SSO login only

This setting allows users to log in using their SSO account only. If a user is only in one organization, they'll be taken directly to their SSO portal after entering their account email. An example of logging in to the web app when the SSO login type is set to 'SSO login only".

IdP-initiated login

The IdP-initiated login setting controls whether your users can log in to SafetyCulture from your SSO portal. Please note that some identity providers might not support this login method.

  • When turned on: Users can log in to their SSO portal first, then open SafetyCulture from the portal and log in at the same time.

  • When turned off: Users can only log in directly from SafetyCulture.
