Single Sign-On with Creative Force

Creative Force is able to integrate with any SSO so long as it is SAML 2.0 compatible.

At present, we have documentation on the following IdP's:

Okta

​Note:

  • If you use a different IdP, please reach out to support@creativeforce.io for assistance.

  • Login directly from user's IDP is supported with Okta, Microsoft Azure, OneLogin and Duo. Click here to learn more about this.

For security reasons, the SSO settings are only available to users with the "Account Owner" role or Admin users if granted access via the Account Owner.

Below are the steps to set up your SSO configuration. You will need to have two-factor authentication enabled to proceed with the below.

Configure your identity provider (IdP)

Step 1. Preparation

You will need the below information from Creative Force in order to complete the set-up on your IdP. All of this can be found within your Creative Force instance. Please contact our Customer Support team in case you do not have access, via in-app chat or support@creativeforce.io

  • SP Entity ID

  • SP Assertion Consumer Service Url

  • SCIM 2.0 URL

Note: We only support SCIM version 2.0, we don't support other versions

Go to Studio Settings -> SSO Settings -> Add IDP. From here, select the Identity Provider you want to add.

Step 2. Setup an IdP integration app

Once you have the information from step one, you can then set up an IDP integration app for Creative Force with your IDP. Here are our knowledge base articles:

If you select Other IdPs (SAML Compatible) you may need to note some main points:

  • Declare and input three Creative Force fields: SP Entity ID & SP Assertion Consumer Service Url & RelayState. You will need to fill in the RelayState information if you want to login to CF directly from your IdP.

  • Mapping metadatabase on SAML

Completing the setup by clicking on ‘Save’.

Set up SAML SSO for Creative Force

Step 1. Preparation

Copy either (See Step 2. Setup an IdP integration app):

  • Identity Provider metadata URL

  • OR whole content of Identity Provider metadata

Step 2: Setup SSO on Gamma

IDP Configuration

  • To do this step you must have access to SSO settings and have 2FA enabled

  • Navigate to STUDIO SETTINGS > SSO SETTINGS.

You can have multiple IdPs with CF. Click 'Add IDP' to create a new connection. The IDP connection can be enabled and disabled. If disabled, users will not be able to log in to CF using the IDP.

Note: Domain name is pre-filled based on the current user's email address. This can be changed to your preference. The domain requires at least one character and only accepts English alphabet characters, numbers and 3 special characters + . -

  • Select the Identity provider from the drop-down

  • Fill in the Identity Provider metadata URL. The Metadata document URL should be accessible via the browser and it is displayed as an XML document.

  • OR all of the content from the Identity Provider metadata

Once you save the IdP configurations, you will see the SCIM Bearer token generated.

New user configuration

  • Configure your "New User Default Configuration" (Role, Skills and Type). These settings will be applied to all new SSO users.

  • Input 2FA code and click Save. Now the SSO is ready.

Completing the setup by clicking on ‘Save’.
