Learn how to integrate your Okta SSO with BigMarker
You can now sync your Okta Single Sign On (SSO) integrations with BigMarker.Read on to learn how to set up your integration on BigMarker.
You can set up your Okta SSO Integration in two places: Under aSeriesor inChannel Settings.The steps for setting up the integration is the same in both locations.
However, if you create your Okta SSO in a Series, changes will apply only to those registering for that Series.If you create your integration in Channel Settings, the integration would apply for everyone on your channel.
Admin users from the channel are still able to sign into BigMarker through their BigMarker account.
We can disable that access, meaning that users will have to log in through their SSO in order to gain access to the platform.Any email address that is associated as an admin on the channel will not be able to log into to BigMarker normally.Please reach out to your account manager to adjust this setting.
