SSOSingle Sign-On

SSO (Single Sign-On) lets a user log into a platform with the identity already verified by their company's identity provider, rather than creating a separate account and password for the service. For an organization, it's a single point of control: disabling an account on the identity provider's side cuts off access everywhere, including on third-party platforms connected via SSO.

Why SSO matters for an organization

Beyond convenience, SSO moves access management to a single point.

  • Centralized onboarding and offboarding: a disabled account loses access to every connected service
  • No extra password to create, remember, or enforce
  • Login traceability stays on the company's identity-provider side

SSO on a Videas channel

On a Videas channel, SSO is configured through SAML or OpenID Connect — two open standards supported by most enterprise identity providers. You then create viewer groups, and each one only sees the part of the catalog that concerns them. Outside a channel, access to a video is set individually: public, private, unlisted, or password-protected.
