Final steps

After successfully setting the 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 with the same email address as their SSO account will be switched to SSO authentication after they first log in with SSO.
  • For users who do not have Ybug account yet, a new Ybug account will be provisioned once they log in for the first time (from their Identity Provider).
