Authorizing User SSO Access

Users are implicitly denied access to applications. After you connect an application to JumpCloud, you need to authorize user access to that application. You can authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel or from the Groups Configuration panel. 

To authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications, then select the application to which you want to authorize user access.
3. Select the User Groups tab. If you need to create a new group of users, see Get Started: User Groups.
4. Select the check box next to the group of users you want to give access.
5. Click save. 

To learn how to authorize user access from the Groups Configuration panel, see Authorize Users to an SSO Application.

Validating SSO user authentication workflow(s)

IdP-initiated user workflow

• Access the JumpCloud User Console
• Go to Applications and click an application tile to launch it
• JumpCloud asserts the user's identity to the SP and is authenticated without the user having to log in to the application

SP-initiated user workflow

• Go to the SP application login - generally, there is either a special link or an adaptive username field that detects the user is authenticated through SSO

• Login redirects the user to JumpCloud where the user enters their JumpCloud credentials
• After the user is logged in successfully, they are redirected back to the SP and automatically logged in
