SSO Enabled |
Select this option to enable Single Sign-On. |
|
Disable standard login |
If you are using Single Sign-On at your organization, select this option to disable standard login options for all of your users (except root). Important:Before selecting this option, make sure that SSO is working correctly, to prevent user lockout. |
|
Disable Standard Login for yourself |
When enabled, standard login is blocked for the root account, the password change option is removed from the UI, and if password recovery was previously enabled, the Forgot Password option remains available. If recovery is unavailable or the account becomes locked, users must raise a support ticket. This feature is controlled by a separate flag visible only to root users and applies only if opted in, ensuring it does not affect other customers unless they enable it. When enabling, the system prompts for confirmation and informs that a temporary password will be sent to the configured email. This ensures secure access when switching from SSO to standard login. |
