General Overview

SSO stands for Single Sign-On. The Wikipedia definition for SSO is:

"Single Sign-On is an authentication scheme that allows a user to login with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems"

For example here is our SSO page using Okta:

To access the SSO page from the console navigate to Settings -> Single Sign-On (example GIF below):
