# Managing SSO readers and reader groups

Make it easier for readers to join your knowledge base using the Auto assign reader group option. This automatically gives access to readers who have signed in with an identity provider, so you don't have to invite them manually. This is especially useful for large or frequently changing user bases, as users are managed in the IdP and automatically assigned the appropriate access upon login.
