SSO Exempt Users tab

At least one user must be specified as exempt from signing in with SSO at the login screen. This user can always log in to CommCare HQ with a password in case of any difficulties with the SSO setup. You can do this in the SSO Exempt Users tab.

SSO Test Users tab

You can set Test Users in the SSO Test User tab. These users must log in with SSO from the homepage when your Identity Provider is Active, and Login Enforcement is set to Test Mode. All other users can log in with a regular username and password. This is useful for pilot testing SSO before rolling out changes to the entire organization.

Sign In with OneLogin SSO

If a user tries to log in to CommCare HQ and is authenticated with OneLogin, the password field will disappear, and the OneLogin SSO button will be visible.

If a user tries to log in to CommCare HQ and is not authenticated with OneLogin, they will be redirected to the OneLogin log-in screen.

New Users

If a user is authenticated with OneLogin but doesn’t exist in CommCare HQ, an account will be created for them when they sign in for the first time. They will see the generic landing page after logging in.

If they have an invitation to a Project, they will see the invitation on the landing page.

If a user tries to sign in to CommCare HQ and is not assigned to the Application in OneLogin, they will see this error message.
