Enable SSO (enterprise logins) - GeriMiller1/ago-admin-education GitHub Wiki

Collaborate with IT and other business systems!

Think about the following:

  • Who is likely to be in charge or have implemented SSO on campus?
  • What systems are already using it, as they might be helpful contact points?
  • Why you should collaborate with them?
  • What you can communicate to them to encourage them to collaborate with you?
  • Avoid developing US vs. THEM mentality.
  • Keep in mind that you are not the right person to do the job of determining who are active students, faculty, and staff. Someone is usually already responsible for that task on campus, usually at the central level, such as HR, to manage who is getting paid, who owes tution, who is eligible for benefits, etc.
  • Leave the authorization processes to them by using the same authentication approach they do.

    • Eliminate roadblocks to collaboration across your institution
    • Minimize cost and time for managing ArcGIS
  • Auto-provision accounts for Enterprise Logins
    • Eliminate need to manually create accounts
  • Use Enterprise Logins for all ArcGIS Online users
    • Eliminate need to manually manage access when a users status changes (i.e., graduates, retires)
    • Keep ArcGIS sign-in enabled as a backup option for Administrators
