Pressable Single Sign-On: Team Access, Managed by Your Identity Provider

For a lot of teams, MyPressable access started with one shared login. Then the team grew. Now 10, 20, sometimes 30 or more people use the same account, and nobody can say for sure who changed what, or who still has the password after they’ve left.

Pressable Single Sign-On fixes that.

SSO connects MyPressable to your company’s identity provider. Every person signs in with their own work credentials, and your IT team manages their access alongside the rest of your company’s apps.

What Is Single Sign-On?

Single sign-on lets people use one set of company credentials to sign in to many apps. Your identity provider, such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or Google Workspace, confirms who they are, and the app lets them in.

With Pressable SSO, MyPressable becomes one of those apps. Your IT team adds people, removes them, and sets sign-in policies like multi-factor authentication in your identity provider, and those rules carry over to MyPressable.

What This Looks Like in Practice

When someone leaves the company

Your IT team deactivates them in your identity provider, the same way they would for email or Slack. With SCIM connected and enforcement on, they can no longer sign in to MyPressable, and their active sessions and API access end. There’s no shared password to change.

When a new developer joins

Add them in your identity provider, and SCIM creates their MyPressable account. An account owner grants access to the right sites through collaborator roles, and the new developer signs in with their work credentials.

When your whole team still shares one login

Verify your domain, run a test login, and turn on enforcement. Everyone on your domain now signs in through your identity provider with their own credentials, and passwords, passkeys, and other login options stop working for them.

When your security team reviews Pressable as a vendor

Questions about access control and offboarding have clear answers: SSO enforcement through your identity provider, and automatic deprovisioning with SCIM.

When your IT lead should own setup

The account owner gives them the Manage Single Sign-On permission, and they configure everything from Tools > Single Sign-On. The owner never has to touch the SAML settings.

What You Can Do Today

Pressable Single Sign-On includes:

• Sign-in through SAML identity providers, including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Auth0.
• Self-service setup using your identity provider’s metadata URL.
• Email domain verification with a DNS TXT record.
• A test login before anyone is switched over.
• A view of who enforcement will cover, including collaborators outside your verified domains.
• SSO enforcement for everyone on your verified domain.
• Automatic provisioning and deprovisioning with SCIM.
• Automatic pickup of identity provider certificate changes, with an email before a certificate expires.
• A Manage Single Sign-On permission that owners and Account Administrators can give to a collaborator.

Built to Roll Out Safely

Setup and enforcement are separate steps, so you can check everything before anyone’s login changes. Until you enforce SSO, people on your domain see a Continue with single sign-on button next to the password field, so your team can try it first. When you’re ready, review who enforcement will cover and turn it on. You can turn it off again from the same page, and if your identity provider ever goes down, Pressable support can turn enforcement off for you.

Who It’s For

IT and security teams

Manage MyPressable access in your identity provider, and apply the MFA policies you already have.
