SSO allows your users to activate Geneious with their company/institute password, e.g. by logging in to their Microsoft account. SSO is available as part of Geneious Enterprise and can be optionally configured to integrate with existing identity providers (IdP) such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, JumpCloud and Shibboleth.
This provides benefits such as:
- No need for each user to create a password for Geneious
- Only allowing email addresses under your organisational domain to access your license
- Enforcement of security policies such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and password strength
- Account lock out when someone is off-boarded from your organisation
Note that users are not automatically assigned a seat unless user provisioning (SCIM) is also configured - an admin stills need to add each user by email so you can control who has a seat. See Directory Sync (SCIM) Guide for more details.
