Many organisations may often have existing employee accounts for other services, such as Microsoft and Google.
If that is the case, TilliT can utilise them to manage TilliT users.
Commonly known as Single Sign-On (SSO), you can connect to TilliT with any service using the SAML standard.
SAML is supported by many providers including Microsoft, Amazon (AWS), Google and many others.
We recommend discussing this with a member of the TilliT Support team.
to discuss using SSO.
This guide will cover setting up TilliT with Azure Active Directory. Each tenant can now set up Single Sign-On (SSO) directly from Account Settings, allowing secure and streamlined access to the platform through your identity provider.
Click on your avatar on the top right, choose Account, of which then you will presented with the below UI. Click on SSO setup and start the SSO Setup.
You will be need the provided Entity ID and Reply URL to set this up in Azure.
Start the process of creating a new Enterprise application. Select "non-gallery application". Give it a name (TilliT?).

After creation your SSO Setup page will be populated with values like this.
You can model your TilliT Groups and TilliT Roles in your Identity Provider and send them as Group claims in your SAML configuration.
This will take precedence over any role & group assignment performed within TilliT. This means user role and group assignment is now handle by IT or those who manage your IDP.
Example:
Here we have added the groups claim in to our Enterprise Application in Azure. We have modelled our Azure Groups using the “tillit-” prefix and only send those in the SAML claims.
Add the groups claim to the SSO configuration for your Enterprise Application
Contact support and send through the Group Ids like shown in step 1 for all the TilliT groups.
Open Azure Portal , on the right side menu choose “Azure Active Directory”.
