By following these steps, you will reach the integration setup screen, where you can configure Single Sign-On (SSO) with your identity provider (such as Okta or Azure). The process is designed for organization administrators and will prepare your account for secure SSO configuration.
Expected outcome: You will arrive at the OpenID Connect integration setup screen, ready to enter your identity provider credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, and Well-known URL).
Estimated time to complete: 5–10 minutes
