Introducing Single Sign-On (SSO) and the new Admin role 🔐

Sep 30, 2021

We’ve added the much-awaited support for Single Sign-On (SSO). You can now use your existing SSO implementation to manage user access to your Screenful account more securely. Single Sign-On allows a user to provide credentials only once and then authenticate multiple applications with the same credentials.

Screenful supports single sign-on with all popular identity providers, including Okta, Microsoft, Google, OneLogin, PingFederate, and many others.

We’ve also added a new Admin role that limits the user management features to selected individuals.
