Enable Single Sign-On (SSO) in Bynder

  • Updated

Caution

This article describes a self-service SSO configuration to set up one or multiple SSO flows. You may not be using this latest version yet, as we've only enabled this version for a limited number of Bynder portals. To switch to the updated Single Sign-On (SSO) flow please contact your Customer Success Manager.

Single Sign-On (SSO) can be a big time saver for users and administrators. By implementing one or multiple SSO flows in a portal, anyone in your network can click the SSO button on the portal's login page to quickly log in without needing a separate Bynder username and password.

SSO also allows you to automatically create new user accounts (Just-in-Time provisioning - JIT), which removes this manual task from portal administrators. Setting up a profile or group mapping (for SAML or OpenID) ensures that a user account with the appropriate permission profile is created when a user logs in for the first time using SSO.

You can configure one or multiple SSO identity providers to manage user authentication in your Bynder portal. For example, if some users log in via SAML SSO while others use Google SSO, each can choose the preferred log-in method on the Bynder portal login page.

Bynder supports any combination of these SSO methods to be enabled in your account:

No, if you exceed your licenses, your Customer Success Manager will contact you to provision new seats or make other changes.
