About SSO users

 

 

Create an SSO user

Only Owners and Admins can enable an SSO user.

  1. Ask users to access UserZoom Manager (however you have this configured).  After accessing Manager:
    • Users are added as Disabled, and see this message:
      sso_access_confirmation_message.jpg
    • They can now be enabled with SSO access.
  2. Click your Username at the top right corner.
  3. Select Account Settings from the drop-down menu.
  4. Choose Users & Teams in the left menu under General.
  5. Scroll to the Users section, and find the user's email address in the email column. 
  6. Click Enable in the Options column for each user.

The system sends an email to users confirming SSO access.

 

Pro tip

If you add an SSO user manually, they can access directly without needing to be enabled further. However, this way, the user will receive the email to set a password. This means that unless the auto-discover feature is disabled for their email domain, they will be able to access using their username and password. Ask them to access via SSO.
