Manage single sign-on settings

Workspace owners and org owners can enable single sign-on (SSO) as an extra layer of security. Depending on your Slack subscription, there are a few different settings that you can configure for your SSO set-up.

Tip: Learn how to set up SSO with SAML single sign-on and Google Workspace single sign-on.
