Getting Started with Single Sign-On

Overview

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication process that allows users to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials. Forethought supports SSO authentication in order to provide users a seamless sign-on experience. SSO integration with the Forethought Dashboard provides easy access for larger teams without the burden of managing login credentials.
