Before you begin, make sure you have an Admin account (Viewer or Contributor) and access to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) single sign-on (SSO) console with permissions to manage applications.
Step 1: Configure SAML 2.0 for Abstract in AWS
- Add the Abstract application from the AWS SSO application catalog.
- Upon adding the Abstract app, AWS generates integration instructions unique for each customer, which includes the Metadata URL and Entity ID for that customer.
- Locate and record your Metadata URL and Entity ID.
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 the Metadata URL and Entity ID you recorded from AWS.
- Enter any manual exceptions you might have. Emails listed in the manual exceptions section bypass SSO and can log in with email and password.
- Click Test with my Account.
Note: You may see an error message if one or more users are in multiple Abstract Organizations. Ask those users to either leave their other Organizations or create a new account with their company email. - Toggle Activate SSO on.
- Click Save Changes.
