# Plan for success

{% hint style="danger" %}
Before you set up Overleaf group SSO, make sure you can **answer, "yes," to the following questions.**
{% endhint %}

1. **Are you the administrator of an Overleaf Pro group plan?** If you're not the administrator, you'll need to work with the administrator to set up SSO. Only the administrator of the group can access the SSO configuration page.
2. **Do you have access to your organization’s Identity Provider (IdP)?** To complete the SSO configuration, you'll need to set up Overleaf as an application in your IdP and obtain some configuration information from your IdP to complete the setup in Overleaf. If you don't have direct access to your IdP, you will need to work with someone who does (likely a member of your Information Technology (IT) services team).
3. **Do you have a high-level understanding of SAML-based SSO?** While this documentation provides step-by-step instructions, it's not a tutorial on SAML-based SSO. For a better understanding of the concepts mentioned here, you may wish to consult additional tutorials and documentation.

## 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/groups/overleaf-group-single-sign-on/setting-up-group-sso/plan-for-success.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.
