Single Sign-on

If your organisation uses Office 365, you may want to activate the Single-Sign-On option for smartcrowds. As long as you have admin permissions of your active directory to allow applications to read data, you can set this up very simply.

You will need a smartcrowds log in to get started. Once you are logged in, go to Admin > Company Settings >  User Account Settings > Tick Use ADFS Authentication > click the link that says 'read user data from your active directory' and grant smartcrowds access to read user data. 

After this, all you need to do is add your organisation's domain(s) and your users will be able to log in using the Office 365 Login option on the login screen.

Auto creation of users

Once you have this activated, you have the option for smartcrowds to create a user when anyone within that domain tries to log in using the 365 Login option. All you have to do to activate this is tick 'Auto-Create Employee Accounts'. If this is not ticked, users will have to be added manually or uploaded in order for them to be able to log in via Office 365.

If you have this selected, you will then have the option of giving users created via O365 automatic membership of certain Categories or Crowds
