Single Sign-On (SSO)
CloudForecast integrates with WorkOS to provide secure Single Sign-On (SSO) support. SSO allows your team members to log in using your organization’s existing identity provider rather than managing separate CloudForecast credentials.
Supported identity providers:
- Google Workspace
- Okta
- Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID)
- And many others supported by WorkOS
Benefits of Single Sign-On
Section titled “Benefits of Single Sign-On”- A secure way to give multiple team members access to CloudForecast without sharing credentials.
- Team members can view the full cost report from a Slack notification without needing separate login credentials.
- Externally linked graphs and charts can be shared directly with teammates.
- Simplifies access management — when an employee leaves your organization, revoking their identity provider access also removes their CloudForecast access.
