Tallyfy provides complimentary Single Sign-On (SSO) integration for all customers on paid plans, enabling seamless authentication through existing corporate identity systems and enterprise security frameworks.
SSO integration allows team members to access Tallyfy using familiar company credentials from Microsoft Azure AD, Google Workspace, Okta, OneLogin, or other enterprise identity providers. This eliminates separate password management burdens while significantly enhancing security through centralized authentication and access control.
For organizations requiring maximum security compliance, paid plans include optional SSO-only enforcement settings that mandate exclusive authentication through designated identity providers, ensuring complete adherence to corporate security policies.

How can I enforce SSO-only access for maximum security?
For organizations requiring the highest level of authentication control and security compliance, Tallyfy can be configured to enforce mandatory “SSO only” access. This configuration ensures that all organizational members, without exception, must authenticate exclusively through your designated Single Sign-On provider.
What happens when SSO-only mode is activated?
Disabled Standard Authentication: Traditional email and password logins are completely disabled organization-wide.
Identity Provider Provisioning: The ability to invite new members via email is deactivated; all users must be provisioned through your corporate identity provider.
This comprehensive enforcement ensures strict adherence to corporate authentication policies and regulatory compliance requirements. For detailed technical specifications and security implications, reference our Compliance documentation on Mandatory Single Sign-On.
How does the SSO authentication flow work with Tallyfy?
Once SSO integration is properly configured:
Organizational Login Portal: Users access a customized Tallyfy login link specific to your organization.
Identity Provider Redirect: Tallyfy automatically redirects users to your company’s designated login portal (such as Microsoft Azure AD or Google Workspace).
Corporate Authentication: Users authenticate using their standard corporate credentials and any required multi-factor authentication.
Seamless Return: Users are automatically redirected back to Tallyfy with authenticated access established.
Automatic Account Provisioning: First-time users receive automatically provisioned Tallyfy accounts based on identity provider attributes.
What identity providers does Tallyfy support?
Tallyfy integrates seamlessly with leading enterprise identity management systems:
Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
Microsoft’s comprehensive enterprise cloud identity and access management platform.
Supports advanced security features including conditional access and multi-factor authentication.
Tallyfy supports integration with virtually any enterprise identity system implementing the industry-standard SAML 2.0 protocol. Contact Tallyfy support for compatibility verification with your specific identity provider.
What are the requirements for SSO setup?
Establishing SSO integration requires coordinated technical configuration across both Tallyfy and your organization’s identity management system:
Administrative Access: Personnel with administrative privileges in both Tallyfy and your identity provider are required.
Technical Configuration Exchange: Critical technical details including URLs, security certificates, and metadata must be accurately configured between systems.
User Attribute Mapping: Proper configuration of user information transmission (including email, name, and role attributes) from your identity provider to Tallyfy.
Comprehensive Testing: Thorough testing across various user scenarios before organization-wide deployment.
How can I get started with SSO implementation?
Identity Provider Selection: Choose the appropriate setup guide corresponding to your organization’s identity management system.
Tallyfy Support Engagement: Contact Tallyfy support or your dedicated account manager to initiate SSO configuration planning.
Collaborative Implementation: Execute the configuration steps methodically in coordination with your IT team and identity management administrators.
User Acceptance Testing: Conduct thorough testing of the authentication flow with representative users across different roles.
Organization-wide Deployment: Communicate the new authentication method to your organization and provide transition guidance.
