Setting up Single Sign-on (SSO)

❗Important

You must be an Admin to set up SSO for your team.

Set up Connection with your Identity Provider

To get started, you’ll need to set up a connection for Guru SSO (also known as a connector) with your Identity Provider (IdP). To set up a connector, you'll need some information from the SSO/SCIM page in Guru.

To access your Guru SSO Integration page:

1. Go to your Guru Team Settings page.

2. Select Apps and Integrations in the left sidebar.

3. Choose SSO/SCIM.

Here is a list of Identity Providers we've worked with in the past:

• ADFS

• Microsoft Azure

• Okta

• OneLogin

• LastPass

• PingOne

• Google Suite

• Centrify

• JumpCloud

✍️ Note

We only support SSO through Google and standard SAML using a third-party identity provider.

Set Up SSO in Guru

Now that you've gathered information from your IdP, an Admin on your team can enable SSO by filling in the required information on your team's SSO/SCIM page.

1. Navigate to Team Settings in your Guru app.

2. Click on Apps and Integrations on the left-hand sidebar.

3. Choose SSO/SCIM.

4. Fill in all the required fields with the information you gathered from your IDP:

• Identity Provider Single-Sign on URL

• Identity Provider Issuer

• X.509 Certificate

3. Choose your Provision Type:

• Automatically add users. Guru will add the user to the team the first time they log in via SSO.

• Require users to be invited. You must explicitly invite users to your Guru Team (These users must additionally have access to your IDP.).

4. Select your Session Timeout in days (default = 14 days).

5. When you're ready to turn it on, change the SSO state to Enabled.

✍️ Note

If you use Google Suite, Google Auth (Logging in via the "Sign in with Google" button on the sign in page) is available on any Guru plan. However, as an Admin you cannot limit end users to only sign in via Google Auth.
