Setting up Your Single Sign-On with Visme

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a great  solution to simplify user authentication when logging into online platforms, and to ensure robust Information Security practices within organizations.

With Visme’s seamless SSO integration, your company can increase the security of your staff’s access to online solutions and bid farewell to the hassles of usernames and passwords, granting your team quick and secure access to their Visme accounts with just a click. Let’s review how your team can gain SSO login access for Visme:

Why SSO is the Way to Go:

Imagine a world where your users log in to their Visme accounts without fretting over forgotten passwords or lengthy login processes. SSO brings this dream to life by granting access through a simple URL/link. No more juggling multiple credentials or navigating through authentication hurdles. Embracing SSO means boosting user productivity and elevating the overall user experience.

Enhancing Information Security

For many organizations, information security is a top priority. SSO plays a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive data and controlling user access to online platforms. By enabling SSO, you gain the power to manage your company’s employees’ access to Visme by verifying their identity against your own IT solutions when they attempt to log in, adhering to strict security measures and mitigating potential risks.

SAMLv2 and Beyond

At Visme, we take SSO seriously, and our default support for Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) demonstrates just that. SAMLv2 is widely adopted across industries, ensuring a standardized and secure method for exchanging authentication and authorization data. However, if your organization requires a different SSO setup, we are always ready to review and discuss how we can accommodate your unique needs.

Things Visme Needs to Kick Off Your SSO Activation

To activate the SSO feature seamlessly, we need the following key components:

– Establish Your SSO Login URL: Your Visme login URL can be tailored to your company’s preference, making it more personalized for your team. We recommend using your company name or abbreviations to create a URL that aligns with your brand identity. This also helps our system associate your users to your organization upon login.

– Metadata URL: Your metadata URL is a crucial element in setting up SSO. Similar to your login URL, it can be customized to your company’s specifications. Incorporate your company name or abbreviations to ensure a cohesive user experience.

What is a Metadata URL?

The metadata URL facilitates Visme’s SSO engine to gather your employees’ information and grant them seamless access to their Visme accounts through the SSO link. It acts as a conduit for securely transmitting essential data, including the following attributes:

– x.509 Certificate

– Attribute: Email

– Attribute: User First Name

– Attribute: User Last Name

Visme’s Enterprise clients are also provided a Customer Success Manager (CSM) who would partner with you in reviewing the setup process, what is needed, and partner with you and Visme’s engineers to set up and connect SSO once provided the information and assets above.
