💎 SSO is available exclusively with a Branded App, which is a paid add-on.
If you have purchased the Branded App or the White-label add-on, you can set up SSO via SAML directly from the Studio without any additional charges. However, if you require technical assistance or need help implementing SSO using a different protocol, additional fees will apply.
What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a convenient authentication method that lets users access multiple apps with just one login. It simplifies the login process, enhances security, and reduces the need for users to manage multiple passwords.
With SSO, you can customize how attendees log in to your branded app, offering better control over authentication.
Swapcard supports SSO through the SAML 2.0 protocol, acting as both an Identity Provider and a Service Provider. Learn more about Swapcard SAML 2.0 SSO.
This article will guide you on how to implement SAML 2.0 SSO with Swapcard as the Service Provider.
Why Use SAML 2.0 SSO?
Using SAML 2.0 SSO has several benefits for your event:
Improved User Experience: Attendees can access the app with just one login, eliminating the need to remember multiple credentials.
Enhanced Security: Fewer passwords mean reduced risks of security breaches.
Simplified Management: Event organizers can easily configure and manage login settings to match event needs.
