Single Sign On (SSO) Overview

Overview

Single Sign On (SSO) allows you to control access to Beyond using your own Identity Provider instead of having users log in with their TempWorks credentials.

This allows you to use your Identity Provider to enforce whatever sign in requirements you see fit, including things like multi-factor authentication, password strength requirements, or requiring the user to be logging in from a certain IP range or corporate network using corporate credentials.

Currently, SSO works with Beyond and the Outlook Add-In, and the same settings are applied to both products.



Setup

To utilize SSO, the following setup steps must be completed:

  1. Initial setup completed by TempWorks.
  2. Configure your chosen Identity Provider to enable SSO and gather information for Beyond.
  3. Add the Identity Provider information in Beyond and finish SSO setup.

*Note* This integration does require initial setup by TempWorks.

For more information about getting this setup, and pricing inquiries, please contact your TempWorks Account Manager.

What TempWorks products does SSO work with?

  • Currently, SSO works with Beyond and the Outlook Add-In, and the same settings are applied to both products.

If SSO is enabled, can users still log in with their TempWorks credentials?

  • SSO logins and TempWorks logins can be enabled separately, so it is possible to allow only SSO logins, only TempWorks logins, or to allow both.
  • Enabling SSO logins does not disable TempWorks logins.



Getting Started

Once the initial setup has been completed by TempWorks, you must configure your chosen Identity Provider for SSO.
