Blackline Live Single Sign-On (SSO)
Learn about the single sign-on option for Blackline Live.
Blackline Live has a single sign-on option that offers your organization a quick and secure way to sign in to Blackline Live.
What is SSO?
Single sign-on (SSO) makes it easy for you to log in to Blackline Live using your company's existing login credentials. Rather than creating a Blackline Live username and password, you can sign in through your organization's identity provider (IdP). Once SSO is enabled, you authenticate through your company's secure sign-in page and automatically sign in to Blackline Live.
Benefits of using SSO with Blackline Live
Using SSO helps your organization to:
- Improve security by enforcing authentication policies
- Reduce password fatigue for users
- Simplify user access management using your existing identity system
- Provide a simple login experience for large teams
SSO-enabled users have the same functionality in Blackline Live as users who log in with standard Blackline Live credentials.
What Happens When SSO is Enabled?
- Blackline Live is connected to your company's Identity Provider (IdP)
- All Blackline Live users in your organization can be enabled for SSO
- Users authenticate using their company email address and IdP credentials
