Plan for success

Before you set up Overleaf group SSO, make sure you can answer, "yes," to the following questions.

1. Are you the administrator of an Overleaf Group Professional 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.
