Introduction
Flex integrates with Google Sign-In and Microsoft Sign-In to give a quick, easy, and secure way to log in to Flex. Admins have the ability to require users in their instance to login via these single sign-on (SSO) options. This ensures an extra secure connection and eliminates the hassle of a forgotten password.
Enabling a SSO Requirement
Navigate to your Flex account and log in:
-
From the Main Menu, click on System Settings > Users or use the Search function to search for "Users."
-
At the top of the page, there is a checkbox for "SSO (Single Sign-On) only Login"
-
Checking this box will open a popup, confirming you'd like to use SSO as the exclusive login method for your Flex instance. Turning on this setting will disable all users' ability to login via Username and Password.
- Click the "I Agree" checkbox and then Yes.
-
Once you log out, you'll see the login screen now only has SSO option with which to log in!
Users that are logged in at the time of this setting change will not be logged out, but will be required to use SSO the next time they log in.
Disabling a SSO Requirement
If you would like to reenable username and password login for your instance, you can do so the same way you enabled it.
-
From the Main Menu, click on System Settings > Users or use the Search function to search for "Users."
-
At the top of the page, there is a checkbox for "SSO (Single Sign-On) only Login.
-
Unchecking this box will open a popup, confirming you'd like to disable SSO-only login, and reenable username and password login.
- Click the "I Agree" checkbox and then Yes.
- Once you log out, you'll see the login screen now only has username and password, as well as Google and Microsoft SSO options.
