Single sign on in EcoStruxure IT

Administrators can give users the option to use single sign on as the authentication method for EcoStruxure IT applications. 

An administrator user is created when you sign up for EcoStruxure IT and is automatically placed in the Default User Group. When you invite users to join your organization, they are automatically added to the Default User Group.

To enable single sign on:

1. Specify a Default User Group.
2. Create or invite users.

Specifying a default user group

To specify an existing user group as the Default User Group:

1. Log in to EcoStruxure IT.
2. Go to Administration > User Groups.
3. Click the user group you want to designates as the Default User Group and click Set as Default User Group.

To create a new user group to be the Default User Group:

1. Log in to EcoStruxure IT.
2. Go to Administration > User Groups.
3. Add a new user group and click Set as Default User Group.

Creating users

Users are automatically added to the Default User Group when they log in to EcoStruxure IT for the first time.
