Update Authentication Method for a Single User

  • Have these permissions:
    • sso.saml.settings.edit
    • sso.saml.settings.read
  • Set up SAML single sign-on (SSO) for your Test and Production tenants.
After you set up SSO for your Test and Production tenants, you must update the authentication method for existing clients and contractors. This must be done for the Test and Production tenants for users to log into VNDLY using SSO. If you don't set a default authentication method, users will use a username and password to log into VNDLY by default.
To update the authentication method for existing vendors, submit a product support case.
