Configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) for Cloud Depot
To streamline your team's login experience and reinforce account security, Cloud Depot supports Single Sign-On (SSO). Instead of managing a unique Cloud Depot password, your users can instantly authenticate using their existing Xero or Microsoft (365/Entra ID) enterprise credentials.
4. Single Sign-On is now active for this profile. To disable it at any time, click the button again to disconnect.
Before you begin you will need to have Cloud Depot two-factor authentication turned on.
Why Use Single Sign-On?
- One-Click Access: No separate login details or passwords to lose or remember.
- Inherited Security: Your organization's corporate security policies—including mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Conditional Access rules—will automatically protect Cloud Depot.
Setting Up Your Account Link
Before using SSO, a user profile must already exist in Cloud Depot and two-factor authentication must be turned on.
1. Navigate to [User name], view profile
2. Click either the 'Enable login with Xero' or the 'Enable login in with Microsoft' at the bottom of the sign-in prompt (you can enable one or both).

3. Complete the Single Sign-On (SSO)
You will need to be logged into Xero or Microsoft to setup and enable SSO.

4. Single Sign-On will be active within the profile, if you would like to disable the Single Sign-On click the button again and it will allow you to disconnect.

Please Note:
- Two-factor Authentication is required to be active on your account.
- Your username and password will still remain active after Single Sign-On is active to please ensure you use a strong username and password in Cloud Depot along with your SSO.
- Single Sign-On doesn’t override any access IP restrictions (if any) that are setup those rules will still apply.
