SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) with Azure AD ENTERPRISE

Enterprise feature

Single Sign-On is available on our Enterprise plan. If you'd like to learn more about the Enterprise plan, please contact us.

To set up Single Sign-On with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), you'll need permissions to create and manage a new Azure AD application.

1. Prepare Ybug for SSO configuration

1.1 Before you can set up the Azure AD SSO application, open the Single Sign-On settings page in Ybug. Go to your Team account settings page, click the Single Sign-On tab and check the Enable Single Sign-On checkbox. Leave this window open — you'll need this information to complete the configuration of the Ybug app in Azure AD.

2. Set up Azure AD for Ybug

2.1 Sign in to the Azure portal using your Azure Active Directory administrator account.

2.2 Navigate to Enterprise applications, select New application:

Create application in Azure AD

2.3 As Ybug is not yet listed in the Azure Active Directory marketplace, you need to Create your own application. Enter the name of the application, keep Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery selected and click Create:

Creating new application in Azure AD

2.4 After your new application is created, go to the Single sign-on section and select SAML from the available options:

4. Assign users

Assign users or groups to your new Ybug SAML application in Azure AD. For more information, see the official Azure AD documentation.

Final steps

After successfully setting up SSO, your users should be able to sign in or sign up using your Identity Provider.

  • Team members (not owners) with an existing Ybug account using the same email address as their SSO account will be switched to SSO authentication after their first SSO login.
  • For users without a Ybug account yet, a new Ybug account is provisioned the first time they log in (from their Identity Provider).
