Open Settings > Single sign-on to require people with a matching email domain to sign in through your identity provider. This is where an organisation without single sign-on sets it up. Classic Security & Data no longer has a setup form. You must verify each domain before the connection can be configured. Continue stays unavailable until every domain you add shows Verified.
Only add domains your organisation controls. A verified domain decides who must use your identity provider to sign in.

Verify Your Domains

1

Open Single Sign-On

Go to Settings > Single sign-on.
2

Start Configuration

Click Start configuration. If a setup is already in progress, click Continue configuration.
3

Add Each Domain

On Add SSO domains, type the domain people use in their work email, such as acme.com, and click Add.If your own email already uses that domain, the page offers to add it. Use that instead of typing the domain.
4

Publish the DNS Record

Each new domain shows a TXT record with Type, Host / Name, and Value. Create that record with your DNS provider.The page checks the record for you. The domain stays Unverified until the record is found, then it shows Verified.
5

Continue

Repeat for every domain people use to sign in. Click Continue once every domain is Verified.
At least one verified domain is required. You cannot remove the last one while you are setting SSO up, or after it is active. If a domain shows Expired, click Verify again and publish the new TXT record. People whose email domain is not in this list can still sign in with their existing method.

Connect Your Identity Provider

After the domains are verified, the setup continues through Connection, Test, and Activate. On Connection, choose the provider and follow the values on the page:
  • Google Workspace, Okta, and Microsoft Entra use SAML.
  • Auth0 and a custom provider use OpenID Connect (OIDC).
Create a new application in the identity provider for this connection. On Test, open the test URL and sign in with an email on a verified domain. You need one successful test before you can continue. On Activate, click Activate SSO. After that, anyone signing in with a verified domain must use the identity provider.
Activate applies to Mention Me. Classic keeps its current sign-in until an admin confirms the switch. If the organisation already has SSO on Classic, see Updating Your SSO Connection.
