Fetch the complete documentation index at: https://docs.readme.com/ent/llms.txt. Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further. Append .md to any documentation page URL to get its markdown version.

If a page title in the index already matches your question, fetch that page directly. When no title matches, or finding one means reading a long index, attach a query parameter in the root llms.txt URL like https://docs.readme.com/ent/llms.txt?query=<search-query> using 2-4 specific keywords to get only the matching pages, most relevant first.

# Single Sign-On (SSO)

Connect your identity provider and let Teammates sign in with SSO

Single sign-on (SSO) lets your Teammates log in to ReadMe using your organization's existing SAML 2.0 identity provider, instead of a separate ReadMe password. Set it up once in your Enterprise Group dashboard, and it applies across all projects in your group.

  Single Sign-On is an Enterprise feature. View [Upgrade to Enterprise](https://docs.readme.com/ent/docs/upgrade-to-enterprise) and contact [growth@readme.io](mailto:growth@readme.io) to learn more.&#x20;

## Supported Providers

ReadMe supports most SAML 2.0 based SSO providers, including:

* [Okta](https://docs.readme.com/ent/docs/setting-up-okta)
* [Google Workspace](https://docs.readme.com/ent/docs/setting-up-google-saml)

## Implement SSO

With SAML selected, configure your identity provider to work with the SSO connection ReadMe generates for your Enterprise Group.

1. Navigate to the **Teammates** setting in your Enterprise Group dashboard.
2. Choose **SAML** from the Single Sign-On dropdown, then click **Configure**.
3. Within the configuration, add the following to your identity provider:
   * IDP Configuration
   * Attribute Statements
   * Group Attribute Statements

<Callout icon="fad fa-brake-warning" theme="warn">
  Make sure the Single Sign-On URL and Entity ID include your Enterprise Group name with `-teammates` at the end. This is your connection name.

## Log In Via SSO

Once your connection is set up, Teammates log in through your SSO login URL at `https://dash.readme.com/login/sso/<CONNECTION_NAME>`. They'll see every project associated with the Enterprise account, but only gain access to a project after an Admin adds them.

***

## SSO Login Permissions

By default, a member who signs in with SAML has no access to your projects. Access to SAML does not grant access to a ReadMe project.

There are two ways to grant a user access through the permission system:

1. **Approve a request.** As Teammates log in through your identity provider, they can request access to a project. An Admin approves or rejects each request.
2. **Invite directly.** After your SAML connection is set up, add new Teammates with the **Invite** option.

On the **Teammates** page, Admins specify whether a new user is a Group Admin, Group Viewer, Project Admin, or Project Viewer. For details on automatically provisioning permissions from your identity provider, see [Groups Mapping](https://docs.readme.com/ent/docs/groups-mapping).
