Use Single Sign-On login with Perlego
This article provides an overview of how SSO authentication works and what this means for your users’ login experience.
About Single Sign-On (SSO) login
Single Sign-On (SSO) integration simplifies online access by allowing one set of credentials to be used across multiple platforms. This enhances convenience and security by eliminating the need for separate login information for each.
Perlego supports the following Single Sign-On (SSO) systems:
How does SSO work on Perlego?
Setting up SSO on your Perlego account will mean that:
- Any new users will be forced to log in via the SSO Identity Provider (IdP)
- SSO users will not be able to edit their personal information (first name, surname, email address) in Perlego
If you have existing users from before SSO is enabled, you can request they are migrated with your Account Manager. Please raise a support tickets through this form. Check out this article for more information around customer support tickets.
Automatic Account Creation
Automatic Account Creation allows any user with the right email domain to automatically create a Perlego account within their organisation. We can support this for both SSO and non-SSO organisations.
Automatic Account Creation is complementary to SSO. It means if you would like to restrict access to your Perlego account to only users within specific email domains, we can configure the sign-up and login flow to automatically allow them to log in via SSO, without the need to use an access code.
Learn how to set up the Auto Account Creation functionality in this article.
How to set up SSO on your account
- You’ll need to tell us your SSO provider and provide any relevant configuration details. Fill this form and contact your Account Management to request the set-up.
- We’ll configure your account and then ask you to release the required attributes (first name, last name, and email)
- Once you’ve released the required attributes, you’ll be able to test the integration to ensure it’s working as expected
To start setting up your SSO, refer to the following documentation:
