SSO with Smarty setup guide
Before you start, confirm your Smarty account access
- Only Account Owners can access and modify SSO configuration settings.
- If you’re using SSO across multiple Smarty accounts, choose one to be your primary SSO account to hold the configuration. The other accounts will share this single SSO configuration.
Step 1: Login to your Smarty dashboard
- Go to your Smarty account dashboard and log in with your credentials.

Step 2: Access the Single sign on section
- From the left-hand sidebar, select Single sign on.

Step 3: Name Your SSO organization
- Type in your SSO organization name. (This name will be part of your login URL, so it must only include valid URL characters. You can find valid URL characters here.)
- Select Create when you’re done.

Step 4: Choose your authentication protocol
- Select the authentication protocol you want to configure: OIDC or SAML.

Step 5: Setting up your configuration
