Drawboard Projects: Single Sign-On (SSO)

Permanently deleted user
  • Updated

Drawboard Projects offers Single Sign-On (SSO) for customers on the Enterprise tier. With SSO, end-users will only need to use one set of credentials across their applications for improved IT security and control. 

SSO and Drawboard Projects

Drawboard Projects currently supports the following Identity Providers (IdPs):

  • SAML 2.0
  • Azure Active Directory
  • Active Directory / LDAP
  • Google GSuite

SSO can only be enabled at the email domain level, as opposed to the account level. 

Example: SSO is enabled for the company domain (@xyz.com). When a user with that domain (ex: john@xyz.com) attempts to log into Drawboard Projects, the user will be redirected to the organization's login page where you can login using your company credentials. Any other project members who do not have the same email domain, would need to log into Drawboard Projects through the regular login flow. 
 

Configuring SSO for your organization

SSO is included in our Enterprise tier, and setting it up will require a call with our Engineering team and your organization's IT team. 

Contact sales@drawboard.com to learn more about implementing SSO.

Once SSO has been set up, there are a few ways to enable it for existing Drawboard Projects users as well as new users.
