Controlling Login Methods for Your Team

If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO), you can now choose whether team members can log in using non-SSO methods.

How it works:

By default, after enabling SSO, recruiters will be able to log in via any method (SSO/password/social).

However, if non-SSO login is disabled, then they will only be able to log in via SSO only.

Where to find it:

Admins can disable non-SSO login on the SSO Integration page.

Who can use this:

This feature is available for admins of any employer who has enabled SSO.
