How an SSO login works

Intacct uses a single login page to support both Intacct login and single sign-on login. To use SSO logins, users select the Use single sign-on option on the login page. Selecting this option removes the Password field and then your selected identity provider authenticates the user.

The Remember me checkbox stores and will remember the single sign-on preferences set by your users.

Users that you set up for SSO can no longer use the basic login page to log in to Sage Intacct. Instead, they choose the option for single sign-on login.

Any users that you do not set up for SSO must still log in to Sage Intacct using the basic login page. In addition, users with full administrator privileges always have the option to log in to Intacct using their Intacct password.

Type of user How logging in works

SSO user

Users who are enabled for SSO must log in to Intacct using the single sign-on.

The login page for single sign-on requests only the company name and username, and does not provide an option for entering a password. Your SSO identity provider authenticates the user, and manages their passwords.

Non-SSO users

Users who are not enabled for SSO must log in to Intacct using the basic login page and enter their Intacct password.

Administrator users

Users with full administrator privileges always have the option to log in to Intacct using their Intacct password. This ensures that they always have a way to log in to Intacct.

Administrator users can also use SSO for logging in to Intacct.
