Single sign-on (SSO) lets members of your organization sign in to DNSimple using your company’s identity provider instead of a DNSimple password alone.

What SSO does at DNSimple

With SSO configured, users authenticate through your organization’s identity provider. DNSimple trusts that provider to confirm their identity. This centralizes login management for your team and aligns with how you control access to other business applications.

SSO does not replace DNSimple account structure. Users still work inside accounts, and members still need appropriate seats and access levels on each account. For how users, accounts, and members relate, see Users, Accounts, and Members at DNSimple.

Identity providers

An identity provider (IdP) is the system your organization uses to manage users and sign-in (for example Okta, Google Workspace, or Microsoft Entra). DNSimple supports connecting an IdP on eligible plans.

To configure a provider, follow the How-to guide for your IdP:

• Okta as an Identity Provider — Teams and Enterprise
• Google as an Identity Provider — Teams and Enterprise
• Entra as an Identity Provider — Enterprise

SSO and account security

SSO is one layer of account security. We recommend enforcing multi-factor authentication through your identity provider when SSO is used, and using Domain Access Control to limit what each member can change after they sign in.

For general security practices, see Account Security.
