SSO
Single Sign-On
An authentication arrangement that lets employees use one organizational identity to access multiple connected systems.
Plain English
Use the company's central login instead of managing a separate password for every workplace tool.
In context
When a team says login with company SSO the application redirects authentication to an approved identity provider and trusts the resulting organizational identity.
Example
“Request SSO access before signing in to the production dashboard.”

Common misunderstanding
SSO centralizes sign-in but does not mean every user has the same permissions or remove the need for MFA and access controls.
