If your organization uses a single sign-on (SSO) service, such as Okta or SecureAuth, Submittable offers SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) 2.0 or OIDC (OpenID Connect)-based integrations. From your organization's Submittable login page, your users can authenticate with your existing identity provider (IdP) and be seamlessly redirected back to your Submittable site, with no account creation or site-specific credentials required.
Our single sign-on feature integrates easily with any identity provider that supports SAML 2.0 or OIDC connections. Some popular supported identity providers are Microsoft Entra, JumpCloud, PingFederate, OKTA, Shibboleth, SecureAuth, and OneLogin.
There are several important benefits to using SSO:
Streamlined account creation. When a user authenticates with your identity provider, a Submittable account is automatically created using the information your identity provider provides.
Simplified user experience. Signing in to multiple services and remembering multiple passwords is a pain. With SSO, users can access Submittable by authenticating with their identity provider, limiting the number of usernames and passwords employees have to remember.
Improved security. Weak or reused passwords are a frequent source of security breaches. With a central identity provider, your organization can set its own password requirements (e.g., 1 upper case, 1 lower case, 1 number), ensuring that all team members comply with a desired level of password security.
