What is SAML SSO?
SAML single sign-on (SSO) allows your users to authenticate to Atlassian cloud products through your company's existing identity provider. This means they can access multiple tools with the same set of credentials, while using a more secure method of authentication than just a user name and password.
Why use SAML SSO?
SAML SSO provides employees and customers with a simpler, easier process for accessing the tools they use, and allows admins to enforce identity-related security controls at scale, making the task of securing large groups of users far simpler.
How it works
Access integrates with your company’s identity provider to provide a simple, seamless authentication process for employees and customers to access Atlassian cloud products.
