Note:

  • Empty fields are not shown when viewing user settings. They appear only when editing.
  • For a user who is recognized via LDAP Integration, only the user's Team membership, initial Application, and application Role can be changed. All other information comes from the LDAP directory, where it can be modified.

Single Sign-On This option appears when Single Sign-On is enabled. It allows a user to login to an organization's secure network with a single username and password, and then access the platform without having to log in again.

The following options are displayed, depending on the configuration:

Single Sign-On - Pass Thru

If checked, Single Sign-on is enabled for this user
Single Sign-On - SAML
Either a Federation Id or platform User Id field is displayed.

- Enter a value to enable Single Sign-On for this user
UserId is the Record Id of the user that is logged in
Federated Identity for authentication across multiple IT systems
