Before you begin, make sure you have an Admin account (Viewer or Contributor) with Abstract.
Step 1: Configure SAML 2.0 for Abstract
Abstract supports SAML 2.0 protocol. If your IdP uses the SAML 2.0 protocol, you may be able to configure SSO in Abstract.
You may need to add the following information to your IdP:
Resource |
Value |
Abstract’s EntityId |
|
Abstract’s Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL |
|
Audience Restriction |
About SAML responses:
- We currently only support HTTP:POST binding.
- We are expecting an “email” Assertion Attribute, as shown below.
<saml2:Attribute Name="email" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">
<saml2:AttributeValue xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xs:string">email@example.org</saml2:AttributeValue>
</saml2:Attribute>
Step 2: Set up SAML single sign-on in Abstract
- Open the Abstract app (desktop or web).
- In the left side pane, click on the organization name.
- From the dropdown, select Organization Settings.
- Select the Permissions tab.
- In the Configure SSO section, enter your Metadata URL and Entity ID.
- Enter any manual exceptions you might have. Emails listed in the manual exceptions section bypass SSO and can log in with email and password.

- Toggle Activate SSO on.
- Click Save Changes.
