This feature is only available on our Enterprise plan. Contact sales for more information.

Before you begin, make sure you have an Admin account (Viewer or Contributor)

Step 1: Configure SAML 2.0 for Abstract in Okta.

  1.  In Okta, navigate to the Applications page.
  2. Search for Abstract
  3. Click Add for the Abstract application.
  4. While in Okta, locate and record your Metadata URL and Entity ID.

Step 2: Set up SAML single sign-on in Abstract.

  1. Open the Abstract app (desktop or web).
  2. In the left side pane, click on the organization name.
  3. From the dropdown, select Organization Settings.
  4. Select the Permissions tab.
  5. In the Configure SSO section, enter the Metadata URL and Entity ID you recorded from Okta.
