SAML SSO
New users should be set up in their SSO platform under the LinkSquares group. To log in successfully there must be an email-to-email match between the SSO LinkSquares group and your user profile in the LinkSquares platform. If you receive the message below when logging in, contact your organization's IT department to confirm that you are set up with the correct email.
The company's login page will reference its subdomain in the URL to log in. A subdomain can usually be determined by the company's name. Such as: http://www.abc.linksquares.com/
ABC would be the company's subdomain.
