# Global SSO

Global SSO is a standalone SAML based authentication app that supports single sign-on for  Atlassian applications: Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and Fisheye/Crucible. 

With our SAML based SSO, you can integrate with any identity provider: Okta, Centrify, ADFS, OneLogin, Azure AD, and other SAML based IDPs. 

With our SSO users only log in to the IDP once and then get logged into all Atlassian applications automatically. 

# Essential benefits 

- Saves time – your employees don't need to log into each Atlassian tool separately
- Reduces password fatigue – employees only need to remember one password instead of many
- Reduces IT stress (and thus costs) – there will be way less IT help desk calls about forgotten or non-functioning passwords, particularly useful for large companies

Manage SSO settings on Admin pages for each tool. Tooltips and [documentation](https://anovaapps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SSO/pages/1117815260/GL-SSO+3.0+-+Configuring+Global+SSO+3.0) will help ensure that Admins have sufficient information, while our [support](https://anovaapps.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/2) will help you with any additional questions.
