      Overview

      Managing multiple logins can be time-consuming and create security vulnerabilities within an organization. Flipsnack's Single Sign-On (SSO) feature simplifies authentication by allowing employees to log in using their existing company credentials. This ensures a seamless, secure, and efficient login process, especially for organizations with multiple users and workspaces.

      SSO is an essential feature for Enterprise accounts, providing IT administrators with centralized user management while reducing the risk of password fatigue and unauthorized access. By integrating SSO, your team can access Flipsnack without remembering separate login details, streamlining workflows and enhancing security.

      Key Benefits

      • Increased security: Employees authenticate through their existing company account, reducing reliance on multiple passwords and lowering security risks.
      • Simplified user management: IT administrators can manage user permissions centrally, ensuring only authorized personnel have access to Flipsnack.
      • Faster authentication: Employees can log in quickly without needing to create or remember additional credentials.
      • Seamless integration: Works with identity providers that support SAML, OAuth, or OpenID protocols, ensuring compatibility with your existing IT infrastructure.

      Requirements

      • Enterprise plan subscription: The SSO feature is available exclusively for organizations on Flipsnack’s Enterprise plan.
      • Compatible identity provider: Flipsnack supports SSO integration with providers using SAML, OAuth, or OpenID protocols. Supported platforms include Okta, Azure Active Directory, ADFS, and Google Workspace.

      How SSO Works in Flipsnack

      When SSO is enabled, employees can sign in to Flipsnack using their company credentials without needing a separate password. The authentication process is managed by your organization's identity provider, which verifies credentials and grants access accordingly.

      At Flipsnack, we offer three distinct SSO options for our customers:

      1. SSO for Users – Designed for team members who create, edit, or manage flipbooks.
      2. SSO for Readers – Provides restricted access for individuals who need to view specific flipbooks within Flipsnack.
      3. SSO for Viewers – Allows access to flipbooks via a secure direct link without requiring a Flipsnack account. 

      If your IT team is considering setting up SSO, Flipsnack provides dedicated tutorials for integrating with commonly used platforms:

      If your organization uses a different identity provider, Flipsnack may still support integration if it meets the required authentication protocols. Contact our team for more details.
