1 day ago

2 min read

⚡ TL;DR Before SSO: verify domains, use one identity provider per parent organization, warn users with personal accounts, and choose JIT or SCIM. Enable SSO and provisioning together where possible.

SSO mistakes can lock people out. Run through this Claude SSO checklist first.

Planning guide. ✅

✅ Claude SSO Checklist: Domains First

Domains must be verified at the parent organization level. Once verified, no other parent organization can claim them.

🏢 Setup Path by Plan

Enterprise gets a parent organization automatically, Team gets one when SSO is first enabled, and Console needs a merge or a request to Sales. Every linked org uses the same identity provider.

👤 Existing Personal Accounts

With Require SSO on, domain users not added to the SSO app lose access to their old accounts. Accounts aren't deleted, but users should export data first.

💡 Pro tip Email users a clear timeline and export instructions a week before enforcement.

🔄 Choosing Provisioning

Invite-only and JIT work on Team and Enterprise; SCIM is for Enterprise and Console. Enable SSO and provisioning together when possible.
