Single Sign on (SSO) - Overview

SigNoz supports single sign-on (SSO), allowing users to authenticate through an external identity provider (IdP) instead of maintaining SigNoz-specific passwords.

What’s supported

  • SAML 2.0: Available on SigNoz Cloud and Enterprise Self-Hosted
  • OIDC: Available on SigNoz Cloud and Enterprise Self-Hosted
  • Google Workspace (OAuth2): Available on Community Edition, SigNoz Cloud and Enterprise Self-Hosted

How SSO works in SigNoz

At a high level, you connect your organization’s email domain to an IdP, and SigNoz defers authentication to that IdP.

  1. Authenticated Domain: You register a domain like example.com under Settings → Organization Settings → Authenticated Domains.
  2. Choose Method: For that domain, select SAML, OIDC, or Google (for Workspace) and provide the IdP details.
  3. Just‑in‑Time access: Users with emails on that domain can sign in via your IdP without a prior invite. Role assignment can then be managed inside SigNoz by admins.
  4. SP‑initiated: User goes to SigNoz login page (<your-instance-url>/login), enters email, and is redirected to the IdP.
  5. IdP‑initiated: This is not supported yet.

Setup at a glance

  • Go to Settings → Organization Settings → Authenticated Domains
  • Add your organization’s email domain (e.g., example.com)
  • Click Configure SSO and choose a method
  • Save and test from an incognito window
  • Optionally toggle Enforce SSO for that domain
  • If you encounter any issues, you can temporarily use password authentication by appending ?password=Y to the login URL, e.g. <your-instance-url>/login?password=Y.
