How to: we explain SSO/Directory Sync and walk you through how to set this up for Progression.
SSO
SSO is an authentication standard that allows Progression to talk to your identity provider to determine whether a given user should be granted access. This means users no longer log in with passwords, instead they are routed via your identity provider (e.g. Okta or Google Workspace).
Directory Sync
Directory sync is responsible for provisioning, de-provisioning and updating your users on Progression based on the settings in your identity provider.
How can I enable SSO?
First things first, please contact us at support@progression.co to get started.
After we've answered any questions around the integration, we'll enable SSO for your account (which may incur a cost) you will then be able to carry out the integration.
The integration process is thoroughly documented with screenshots and instructions and can be done self-serve. Of course, if you would prefer we are happy to do short call to take you through the setup process.
