SAML and SSO for Smartsheet - Overview (Enterprise only)

With Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and single sign-on (SSO), you can extend your organization’s security preferences to an Enterprise-level Smartsheet account. When you use SAML and SSO, the users managed by your Enterprise directory can sign in to Smartsheet with their corporate credentials. 

Once you've configured SAML

Users in your company network will see the Your Company SSO button on the login page. They can select that button to authenticate their login with their company-provided SSO credentials.

Smartsheet supports SAML 2 for SSO, and the following SAML 2 compliant identity providers: 

• OneLogin
• ADFS
• Shibboleth
• PingIdentity
• Okta
