Single Sign On (SSO)

The Own Data Platform supports Single Sign-On using SAML 2.0. You can set your own authentication using your managed Identity Provider instead of using local authentication for password and security policies.

Own uses SAML 2.0, so to authenticate, the Identity Provider must allow the SAML Assertion to be used. Create an SSO application in your IdP provider before enabling SSO in the platform.

SSO Settings Access

SSO settings are only accessible to Master Admin and Admin users, and not visible to non-admin users. For Admin users, it is read-only, while the Master Admin users can make changes.

SSO Settings Impact

Changes to SSO settings affect all the regions in the account. Therefore, any Master Admin can make changes, no matter what region they're the Master Admin of. We recommend having a single Master Admin user across all regions in the account.

IdP Application Connection

Only one application in the IdP can connect to the Own Data Platform, even if you have multiple regions.

  • Migrate SSO Users to Own Data Platform
    Own is launching a new Data Platform. If you access our applications with Single Sign On through your chosen Identity Provider, make sure your organization has made the necessary updates to continue benefiting from our improved platform security. For SSO users migrating to the Own Data Platform, it's important to configure your Identity Provider (IdP) by December 15th to verify access. After this date, access to the regional login URL will no longer be available.
