This guide will walk you through the process of setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) with Okta for TalentLyft.
By configuring SSO, your users will be able to securely access TalentLyft using their existing Okta credentials, simplifying authentication and improving security and user management.
Before you begin, make sure you have administrator access to your Okta account.
Login Setup on Okta
Log in to your Okta account as an administrator
Click on the blue Okta Admin Console - Applications - Create App Integration
In the window that opens, select option from image bellow and then click the Create button
Enter TalentLyft in the App name
Fill out Sign-in redirect URIs https://accounts.talentlyft.com/okta-signin-oidc
Choose which group of users will have access to TalentLyft.
At the end of the setup, please securely send us the following information so we can complete the SSO configuration on the TalentLyft side:
"Authority": "[your-assigned-website.okta.com](http://theirwebsite.okta.com/)",
"ClientId": "xxx",
"ClientSecret": "xxxx"
Wait for the green light from the TalentLyft team confirming that the configuration has been completed successfully. Congratulations - your SSO integration with TalentLyft is now set up!
New login flow
Once SSO is enabled, users will only be able to log in to TalentLyft using Okta. Login with username and password will be disabled.
The new login flow will be:
Click Sign in with Single Sign-On (SSO)
Enter your account subdomain
Log in using Okta
If the user has permission to access TalentLyft, they will be redirected to the TalentLyft app.
TalentLyft will assign these users the Team Member role by default. Users with this role will not have access to jobs or candidates. Assignment to jobs is managed as part of the hiring process.
