Single Sign-On (SSO) for Effectory software

Security and ease of access are vital for your organization. That's why we offer Single Sign-On (SSO)—a secure and efficient way to access multiple Effectory applications using just one set of login credentials. In this article, we’ll explain what SSO is, its benefits, and how it integrates with Effectory systems.

Understanding SSO

SSO is a user authentication service that enables you to use one set of login credentials—typically your company or work credentials—to access multiple applications. Once you log in to one SSO-enabled system, you automatically gain access to other connected platforms without needing to log in again.

The benefits of using SSO

SSO provides several key benefits:

• Better control: Your organization can manage access based on active accounts within your company’s email domain, ensuring only authorized users can log in.
• Enhanced security and compliance: Easily add new employees or deactivate accounts for departing employees, keeping your systems secure and compliant.
• Improved usability: With SSO, users only need to remember one set of login credentials, making it easier and faster to access multiple applications.
• Reduced IT costs: Fewer password-related issues mean less demand on your IT support, saving time and resources.

SSO for Effectory applications

Effectory supports SSO for all our systems. This includes:

• Questionnaires
• My Effectory
• My Feedback

We recommend setting up SSO for a smoother and more secure user experience across these applications.

Supported systems and protocols

We support and recommend the use of SSO to securely access our systems. Our technical requirements page provides general requirements and specific instructions to integrate with:

• Azure Active Directory/Microsoft Entra ID
• OpenID Connect
• SURFconext
