How to setup Deel SSO with Okta wsing the Okta Integration Network (OIN) app

Deel is available as a pre-configured application in the Okta Integration Network (OIN): Okta's app catalog. This is the simplest way to set up SSO with Deel and requires no custom configuration.

Benefits of using the OIN app:

• No custom setup or credentials needed
• Add Deel directly from Okta's app catalog
• Deel handles all pre-configuration
• Faster deployment

Step 1: Add Deel from the Okta App Catalog

1. In the Okta Admin Console, go to Applications › Applications › Browse App Catalog.
2. Search for Deel.
3. Click on the Deel app result.
4. Click Add Integration.

Step 2: Configure the App in Okta

You'll see a configuration page with Deel's pre-configured settings.

1. Give the app a label (e.g., "Deel SSO") if you want to customize it.
2. Click Next.

Step 3: Assign Users in Okta

1. On the Assignments tab, assign the Deel app to users or groups who should have SSO access.
2. You can assign by:
   • Users: Add individual users
   • Groups: Add entire groups for bulk assignment
3. Click Save.

Step 4: Enable SSO in Deel

1. In Deel, go to More › Apps.
2. Search for SAML 2.0.
3. Click Connect.
4. Paste your Okta Metadata URL (provided by Okta) in the Metadata URL field.
5. Click Connect and Go to Settings.
6. Review the configuration.
7. Click Enable to activate SSO.

Step 5: Test SSO

1. Have an assigned user try logging into Deel.
2. They should be redirected to Okta for authentication.
3. After authenticating with Okta, they'll be logged into Deel.

Disable SSO (If Needed)

To turn off SSO later:

1. In Deel, go to More › Apps.
2. Find your SAML 2.0 integration.
3. Click More › Disconnect.
