How can a System Administrator configure Single Sign-On (SSO) in Smartsheet?

The correct approach to configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) in Smartsheet is to set it up in the Admin Center under the Security settings. This process involves providing the necessary authentication credentials, such as those from an identity provider (IdP). This functionality allows users to authenticate to Smartsheet using their existing credentials from a centralized authentication source, streamlining access and enhancing security through a more unified login experience.

Setting up SSO in the Admin Center ensures that the organization can effectively manage user access and enforce security policies across all users. Proper configuration also reduces the need for users to remember multiple passwords, significantly improving user experience and compliance with security protocols.

Integrating with third-party apps does play a role in enhancing overall functionality but is not the direct method for setting up SSO. Creating additional user profiles is not necessary with SSO, as it facilitates access through existing accounts. Enabling two-factor authentication is a valuable security measure but is distinctly separate from the process of configuring SSO. Thus, the most accurate method to establish SSO in Smartsheet is through the designated settings in the Admin Center.
