Use JumpCloud SAML Single Sign On (SSO) to give your users convenient but secure access to all their web applications with a single set of credentials.
Read this article to learn how to setup the GroWrk.
Prerequisites
- A JumpCloud administrator account
- JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO à la carte option
- Administrator access to your GroWrk dashboard with the Integrations feature enabled
- A GroWrk authorized domain
Important Considerations
- The email address used in JumpCloud matches the email address of your users in GroWrk
- GroWrk only supports an IdP-initiated workflow
Creating a new JumpCloud Custom Application Integration
- Log in to the JumpCloud Administrator Portal.
- Go to Access > SSO Applications.
- Click + Add New Application.
- In the the Custom Application tile, click Select and then Next.
- Select Manage Single Sign-On (SSO) and then Configure SSO with SAML.
- Click Next and enter the following:
- Display Label - enter GroWrk
- User Portal Image - select Logo and upload the GroWrk logo
- Expand the Advanced Settings and enter GroWrk at the end of the SSO IdP URL
The SSO IdP URL is not editable after saving the application. If you want to change the URL, you will have to delete and recreate the application.
- Click Save Application.
- If successful, click Close or Configure Application.
Configuring the SSO Integration
To configure JumpCloud
- Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
- Select the SSO tab and enter the following information:
- IdP Entity ID - http://www.jumpcloud.com/<JumpCloud application id>
- Note the ID from the URL which is just before “/details”: https://console.jumpcloud.com/#/applications/67eea020a2caa4cfa68d43f9/details/SSO
- SP Entity ID - growrk.firebaseapp.com
- ACS URLs | Default URL - https://io.growrk.com/api/sso/saml/verify
- SAMLSubject NameID Format - select urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
- Signature Algorithm - select RSA-SHA256
- Sign - select Assertion and Response
- Default RelayState - enter FromOrigin
- IdP Entity ID - http://www.jumpcloud.com/<JumpCloud application id>
- Optionally, configure:
The Authentication Methods References (AMR) is automatically included in the SAML assertion by default. No additional configuration is required to enable this.
Complete the MFA Claim Configuration to define how the authentication context is sent in the SAML assertion.
- Under Auth Context, choose one of the following options based on your SP's requirements:
- Send a single value for all successful MFA factors - select if the Service Provider accepts a generic confirmation for any MFA login. Enter the single URL or URN they accept
- Send specific factors - select this option to map individual JumpCloud MFA methods to distinct values. In the Factor Mapping table, add each MFA factor enabled in your organization and enter the corresponding value required by the Service Provider
- Send single value and specific factors - select to send both a generic identifier and specific factor details in the assertion
Refer to your Service Provider's documentation to determine the specific URN or URL values required (e.g., Salesforce Session Security Levels). The values entered in this configuration must exactly match what the Service Provider expects.
| MFA Factor | Service Provider | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Password | Reference your Service Providers's documentation for the values they expect for each factor | |
| TOTP | ||
| WebAuthN | ||
| Push Notification | JumpCloud Protect or other authenticator application | |
| Duo Security | ||
| Device Trust | ||
| Device Trust + User Verification | JumpCloud Go | |
| API Key | ||
| External Identity Provider |

Configure User Attributes to be sent to the SP in assertions. User attributes are unique to each user. You can include attributes for standard user detail attributes or for custom attributes. For example, you can include standard attributes for users’ employee ID and department, or you can include a custom attribute for users’ application ID. Standard attributes are configured in the User Panel Details tab's User Information and Employee Information sections.
Unlike user attributes, a Constant Attribute can be sent for every user in a specific group or application profile.
If required attributes are present, they are not editable.
- Under User Attributes, click add attribute:
- Service Provider Attribute Name - enter the service provider’s name for the attribute
- JumpCloud Attribute Name - select the corresponding attribute from the drop down list
- Repeat these steps for any desired user or custom attributes.
- Under Constant Attributes, click add attribute:
- Service Provider Attribute Name - enter the service provider’s name for the attribute
- Value - enter the corresponding attribute in JumpCloud
- If groups are supported, select Include Group Attribute.
- Click Save.
Copy the metadata URL
- Find your application in the Configured Applications list and click anywhere in the row to reopen its configuration window.
- Select the SSO tab and click Copy Metadata URL.
- The URL will be copied to your clipboard.
To configure GroWrk
- In the Integrations tab in your GroWrk Dashboard, search for the JumpCloud SSO integration.
- Select Get Started.
- On the setup page, there are several steps to complete:
- Add GroWrk to JumpCloud - this was completed in the previous section
- Add your Authorized Domain - click Add Domain and add your authorized domain(s)
- Copy and paste the Metadata URL - paste the JumpCloud Metadata URL from the previous section
- Click Setup.
- If successful, you’ll be notified that JumpCloud SSO has been set up.
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 Applications, Users List or User Groups page.
To authorize user access from the Application’s page
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
If your data is stored outside of the US, check which login URL you should be using depending on your region, see JumpCloud Data Centers to learn more.
- Go to Access > SSO Applications, then select the application to which you want to authorize user access.
- Select the User Groups tab. If you need to create a new group of users, see Get Started: User Groups.
- Select the check box next to the desired group of users to which you want to give access.
- Click Save.
To learn how to authorize user access from the Users or User Groups pages, 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
This varies by SP.
- 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
See Additional User Experience Considerations when setting up JumpCloud SSO.
Removing the SSO Integration
These are steps for removing the integration in JumpCloud. Consult your SP's documentation for any additional steps needed to remove the integration in the SP. Failure to remove the integration successfully for both the SP and JumpCloud may result in users losing access to the application.
To deactivate the SSO Integration
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
If your data is stored outside of the US, check which login URL you should be using depending on your region, see JumpCloud Data Centers to learn more.
- Go to Access > SSO Applications.
- Search for the application that you’d like to deactivate and click to open its details panel.
- Select the SSO tab.
- Scroll to the bottom of the configuration.
- Click Deactivate SSO.
- Click Save.
- If successful, you will receive a confirmation message.
To delete the application
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
If your data is stored outside of the US, check which login URL you should be using depending on your region, see JumpCloud Data Centers to learn more.
- Go to Access > SSO Applications.
- Search for the application that you’d like to delete.
- Check the box next to the application to select it.
- Click Delete.
- Enter the number of the applications you are deleting
