Single Sign-On (SSO) allows IT Teams to securely access DeskDay using their existing identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace. With SSO enabled, both IT technicians and end users can sign in seamlessly across DeskDay apps without managing separate passwords.

How to Set Up SSO in DeskDay

  1. Go to Customers on the left-side navigation

  2. Select Customers

  3. Choose your company

  4. Click SSO

  5. Click Add new +

  6. Follow the SSO configurations

Refer following document for detailed SSO configuration steps

What You Get with SSO

For IT Technicians

  • Sign in to the DeskDay web portal and mobile app using SSO

For End Users

  • Sign in using SSO to the support portal and IT-Connect apps:

    • End-user web portal

    • IT-Connect Microsoft Teams app

    • IT-Connect Desktop app

    • IT-Connect Mobile app

User Provisioning and Access Behavior

DeskDay handles user access differently for technicians and end users when SSO is enabled. Understanding this ensures a smooth first login experience.

Technician Access

Before a technician can sign in using SSO:

  • The technician must be added to DeskDay as a resource

  • Go to Control Center → Resources

  • Create or invite the technician with the correct email address

  • The email domain must match the configured SSO domain

Technicians who are not added under Resources will not be able to log in, even if SSO is enabled.

End User Access

End-user accounts are automatically provisioned

  • Account creation happens on the first successful SSO login

As long as the user’s email domain matches the SSO configuration, DeskDay will automatically create the end-user account.
