Okta Single Sign-on (SSO)

Information and instructions for configuring single sign-on via Okta

 

We’re currently transitioning our admin model from Team > Group to Organization > Team > Group, with admin roles becoming Organization Admin and Team Admin. As a result, some language in this article (for example, references to “Team” or “Group”) may not exactly match what you see in the product today. The underlying functionality described here remains the same, even if the labels and hierarchy in your app look slightly different while we complete this transition.

Okta SSO Overview

Brevity supports single sign-on authentication via Okta. The Okta integration allows team members to access Brevity using their Okta credentials for centralized access management and enhanced security.

Requirements and Considerations

  • The Brevity/Okta integration uses Identity Provider (IdP)-initiated single sign-on.
  • Existing Brevity users can continue to access Brevity using their Brevity credentials until they log in to Brevity via Okta SSO for the first time. After that, users will be able to access Brevity only through the Okta dashboard.
  • If a user does not have a Brevity account and logs in to Brevity from their Okta dashboard, an account in Brevity is automatically created for that user. This simplifies onboarding, as there is no need to manually create a Brevity account.
