What is SSO?
SSO (single sign-on) is a mechanism that lets a user log in once to access several applications, without re-entering their credentials for each one.
It simplifies access, strengthens security (only one set of credentials to protect), and makes it easier for the employer to manage rights. For frontline teams, the particular challenge is enabling simple sign-in for employees who have no work email address.
