Setting Up SSO for Zendesk Help Center
How can I set up SSO for my Zendesk Help Center?
To set up SSO for your Zendesk Help Center, you need to configure it to use the same authentication method as your external site. This allows users to sign in to the Help Center using their existing credentials from your website. However, users will still need to click the sign-in option on the Help Center if they visit it in the same session as your external site.
To streamline this process, you can configure the Help Center to require sign-in when users are already signed into your external site. This way, the Help Center automatically carries over the external authentication when they visit. For more details, check out theoriginal link.
