# Logging in with Group SSO

This page is for **members** of an Overleaf Pro group subscription, where your group administrator has enabled single sign-on (SSO) as a login option. It describes how to link your Overleaf account to your group single-sign on identity and use it to log in to your Overleaf account.

{% hint style="info" %}
For now, only group members (not managers) can use SSO. Additionally, you must first create your Overleaf account and set an Overleaf-specific password before you can link your account to SSO. Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning from SSO login is not available for group SSO.
{% endhint %}

## Linking your Overleaf account and SSO identity

If you’re a member of a group (on a Pro group plan) with single sign-on enabled, you will receive an email inviting you to set up SSO for your Overleaf account.

Clicking on the button in the email you received will start the linking process for you. If you have trouble using the button, you can paste the URL from the email into the address bar of your browser.

Following the steps that are presented to you will bring you to your identity provider login. After logging in for the first time, you will then be able to login with SSO.

## Logging in to your Overleaf account

Once you’ve linked your Overleaf account to your single sign-on identity, you can log in to your Overleaf account using single sign-on.

Go to the Overleaf SSO login and enter your email address. This will redirect you to your group's single sign-on page. After successful authentication, you will then be directed to your Overleaf project home page.

## Unlinking group SSO

Your administrator may turn off SSO temporarily. This will suspend your ability to login with SSO and may, in some cases, mean you need to relink your Overleaf account to your SSO identity in order to login with SSO again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.overleaf.com/accounts-and-security/email-address-and-login-options/logging-in-with-group-sso.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
