Can I require users to use SSO to access Bocada Cloud?

Learn how to set login security requirements

By default, users log into Bocada Cloud with a username and password. However, users with a Super Administrator role can require that users in their Bocada Cloud account access the application using Single Sign-On (SSO) with a Microsoft work account. This is useful for organizations with a security policy to require SSO, and/or utilize SSO so that their own multi-factor authentication process is used when accessing certain applications. 

Require SSO to access Bocada Cloud

1. A user with a Super Administrator role can access a "User Login Security" option under the  Administration section on the left navigation menu (directly beneath "Users").

2. Internal domain users: users who have the same email address domain as the original user who created the Bocada Cloud account are considered "internal domain" users. The Super Administrator can enable the requirement for them to login via SSO with their Microsoft work account.

3. External domain users: users with a different email address domain than the original user who created the Bocada Cloud account are considered "external domain" users. The Super Administrator can enable the requirement for them to login via SSO with their Microsoft work account. 

   • Note:  This requires that external domain users must have the ability to log into external applications with their Microsoft work account. If you are unsure whether or not they have this capability, do not require it as it could prevent them from accessing Bocada Cloud.

4. Click the Save button.
5. If users have been required to use SSO, the next time they try to log into Bocada Cloud they will be shown a message alerting them that they must sign in with a Microsoft work account to access the application.
