SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and SSO (Single Sign-On) provide a streamlined and secure method for organizations of any size to manage access to various services. These technologies allow easy integration of domain-wide access, enabling team members to utilize their official email addresses for authentication. With SSO, users can effortlessly sign up and sign into platforms, like MuchSkills, using their corporate email addresses. This process not only simplifies the joining of teams on such platforms but also ensures a seamless and secure user experience. The convenience and security offered by SAML/SSO are particularly valuable for end users, as they can access multiple services without the need to manage numerous credentials, enhancing both efficiency and security in their daily operations.

The final step to complete the integration involves setting up a DEP metadata URL in MuchSkills. Since Google does not provide a public URL for this, you have two options:
After MuchSkills has received and uploaded your metadata file, or if you've chosen to host it yourself, you can activate SAML and, if desired, enforce its usage. To do this, go back to 'Security & SAML' in the team settings (Team > Edit > Security & SAML), and switch on 'Enable SAML'. You also have the option to toggle 'Enforce SAML'.
It's crucial to test the SAML login process after these changes. Ensure everything is working correctly by logging out and attempting to log in again using the SAML method. This step confirms the successful integration of the SAML setup with MuchSkills.
