Setting Primary SSO Configuration in Zendesk

Find out how to set a primary SSO configuration in Zendesk for streamlined user sign-in.

How do I set a primary SSO configuration in Zendesk?

Setting a primary SSO configuration in Zendesk is necessary if you have multiple SSO methods and want to redirect users to a specific one. This is only required if you choose to redirect users to SSO rather than letting them choose their sign-in method.

To set a primary SSO, go to the Security settings for team members or end users in the Admin Center. Click 'Account' in the sidebar, then 'Security', and choose either 'Team member authentication' or 'End user authentication'. In the 'Primary SSO' field, select the configuration you want as the default, then click 'Save'.
