Convert Document360 account to SSO account
Single Sign-On or SSO allows user authentication and access to multiple applications or websites with a single login event. You can login to your SSO account with your SSO credentials to access the portal/site. You can easily convert your Document360 account(s) to SSO account(s) without altering the roles and access. This option simplifies and speeds up the conversion process for team accounts and readers.
NOTE
User type conversion is applicable only in SAML and OpenID configured projects.
Converting regular Document360 team account(s) to SSO account(s)
Go to Settings > Users & Security > Team accounts & groups > Team account in your Document360 knowledge base portal.
Select the checkbox of the desired team account(s).
Click the Convert to SSO account option above the list of team accounts.
An Account convert confirmation popup appears.
Select the checkbox and click the Yes button.
NOTE
