NetSuite Single Sign On (SSO)
Single Sign on
Single Sign-On (SSO) in NetSuite is a method that allows users to access their NetSuite accounts and related systems with a single set of login credentials, eliminating the need for multiple usernames and passwords. Implementing SSO in NetSuite can enhance security, streamline user access, and simplify the login process.
Benefits of SSO in NetSuite:
- Enhanced Security: SSO can strengthen security by centralizing user authentication and enforcing policies at the IdP, such as multi-factor authentication.
- User Convenience: Users have a simplified login experience, as they only need to remember one set of credentials.
- Streamlined Administration: SSO can simplify user management and reduce administrative overhead. When a user leaves the organization, their access can be revoked centrally at the IdP.
- Efficient Access to Multiple Systems: SSO can be extended to integrate with other systems and applications, allowing users to access multiple resources with a single login.
