Enterprise SSO Authentication

Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) integration enables organizations to manage Netdata Cloud access through their existing identity management solution. This simplifies user authentication and improves security through centralized access control.

Important: Enterprise SSO handles authentication only. User and role management must be configured separately within Netdata Cloud.
