# 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.
