    Setting up a Single-Sign-On provider

    Setup

    You can configure an external Single-Sign-On provider that can be used instead of their Data Platform account to validate the credentials of all users upon login.

    To do so, first click on + Add Authentication provider under the Enterprise Authentication section.

    add provider

    Next, choose a compatible authentication provider from our list.

    Enforcing SSO-login for all users

    If your security needs require all your organization users to login using your enterprise SSO, you can enforce this login method by activating the disable all other login methods option.

    disable all other login methods
    Warning

    Note that if you do not configure your provider properly and then disable all other login options, you will lock all unauthenticated users out of the platform. Therefore, be sure to properly configure your provider before disabling the other login methods.

    Enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication

    You can also require all users to setup and use Multi-Factor-Authentication (MFA) work on projects by checking the Enforce MFA for all Data Platform accounts option.

    Activating this option will require all organization users to verify a phone number of their choice before working on any project on Data Platform.

    Allow users to request to join organization

    To avoid having to add many users that share the same email domain (e.g. your company's email domain), you can add a domain as allowed to request to join. Do this by typing the desired domain in the box indicated below and clicking on ENTER.
