Single sign-on (SSO) allows you to authenticate users through a 3rd-party identifier service such as Microsoft or Google, which checks to see whether the user trying to sign into PublicInput with a given email domain - e.g., anywheretown.gov - has an active account with the 3rd-party service on your organization's active directory.
Not only does this allow users to sign into PublicInput with their credentials for that service (rather than with PublicInput credentials), but it also ensures that users who should no longer have access to PublicInput will not need to be removed from the list of admins on our platform; instead, the system will check to see whether the user is still active in your active directory. This way, secure access is maintained only for active employees.
Please note that Single Sign-On (SSO) is an add-on feature. If you do not have this feature included in your plan and would like to implement it, please speak with your Customer Success Manager (CSM).
For assistance in reaching your CSM, you can contact us at support@publicinput.com.
