# Overview

> Understand the key concepts and supported SSO connection types with Partoo

<Info>
  Single Sign-On (SSO) allows your users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials.
</Info>

## What is SSO?

SSO (Single Sign-On) is an authentication mechanism that enables users to access Partoo directly through your company portal, without manually entering their Partoo login credentials.

<Note>
  SSO is only available for users who already have an existing Partoo account. It does not automatically create accounts.
</Note>

## Supported protocols

Partoo supports two widely-used SSO protocols that are compatible with most identity providers (IdPs) such as Google, Okta, or Azure AD:

* **SAML 2.0**
* **OpenID Connect (OIDC)** with the PKCE flow

<Tip>
  Choose the protocol that matches your identity provider's capabilities.
