Tallyfy offers free Single Sign-On (SSO) integration for customers on paid plans. SSO lets your team members log into Tallyfy using the same username and password they already use for other company systems (like their Microsoft, Google, Okta, or OneLogin accounts).
This means they don’t need a separate Tallyfy password, making login easier and more secure. For enhanced security, organizations on paid plans can also request a setting to enforce that all members sign in exclusively via SSO.
Key benefits of using SSO
Benefit
Description
Better Security

Central Management

Fewer Support Tickets
No more “forgot Tallyfy password” requests for your IT team.
Enforcing SSO-only access for enhanced security
For organizations requiring the highest level of authentication control, Tallyfy can be configured to enforce “SSO only” access. This means that all members, without exception, must log in through your designated Single Sign-On provider.
When this mode is active:
Standard email and password logins are disabled organization-wide.
The ability to invite new members via email is deactivated; users must be provisioned through your identity provider.
This ensures strict adherence to your corporate authentication policies. For a detailed explanation of this feature and its security implications, please see our Compliance documentation on Mandatory Single Sign-On.
Tallyfy can connect with almost any other login system that uses the standard SAML 2.0 protocol. Contact Tallyfy support if you use a different system.
What’s needed to set up SSO?
Setting up SSO requires technical steps in both Tallyfy and your company’s login system:
You need someone with Admin access to both systems.
Technical details (like URLs and security certificates) need to be copied between the systems.
You need to configure how user information (like email and name) is sent to Tallyfy.
You should test it thoroughly before making everyone use it.
