What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Single Sign-On (SSO) lets you log in to elyvate using an existing account from your company's identity provider - such as Microsoft or Google - instead of a separate password.
SSO is managed by your organization's IT department, not by elyvate. This means your company keeps full control over access and security.
Important: SSO is only available if your organization's IT and security policies support it. It cannot be enabled on an individual basis.
How SSO works
Before you can log in with SSO, your organization must enable it for elyvate.
Once enabled, your existing elyvate account is automatically linked to your SSO identity based on your email address. All your data, projects, and permissions stay exactly as they were - nothing changes on your end.
If your company uses Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), you will typically be redirected to Microsoft login automatically. Google SSO follows the same principle if enabled by your organization.
Log in with SSO - step by step
Go to the elyvate login page
Select "Microsoft (SSO)" - or Google, if enabled by your organization
Complete sign-in with your identity provider
If no active session exists on your device, you will be redirected to your provider's login screen
Once authenticated, you are logged in to elyvate
Note: After SSO is enabled, you may no longer be able to log in with your previous password. This is expected behavior and part of the security upgrade.
