Zingtree supports SAML 2.0 based Single Sign-on (SSO). This lets you require anyone accessing a tree to log in via your Identity Provider and authenticate themselves first. This article will walk you through how to set it up using OKTA

Setup

 

1. In Zingtree select My Team > Single Sign-on > (Agent/Author).

  3. Check Require Login via Single Sign-on (SSO).

Dedicated Agent Login

Rather than having Agents go through the Zingtree login page, you can send them directly to your SSO login page. Here’s how:

  1. Go to My Team, My Agents.
  2. Give your agents the link from this button located at the bottom of the page:img_5a46a5f9d3970 (2).png
