# Setting up SSO

With the [Enterprise plan](https://www.sonarsource.com/plans-and-pricing/#sonarqube-cloud-features), you can transition from the DevOps platform authentication mode to Single Sign On (SSO) with any identity provider (IdP) that supports SAML. SonarQube Cloud uses the Service Provider (SP) initiated SSO.

With SSO you benefit from:

* Increased security and a single source of truth for user authentication.
* Automatic user and group provisioning through SCIM or JIT provisioning.

For more information, see [About SSO and provisioning](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/enterprise-security/sso-and-provisioning/about.md).

SSO is set up for a given enterprise, see [Setting up your enterprise](/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started-with-enterprise/setting-up-your-enterprise.md) for more information. At SSO login time, users select the enterprise they want to access.

To set up SSO within your enterprise, see [Set up SSO](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/enterprise-security/sso-and-provisioning/set-up-sso.md). To set up SCIM, see [Set up SCIM](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/enterprise-security/sso-and-provisioning/set-up-scim.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
When created, SSO accounts will have no history. That means that comments on issues, favorite projects, etc., will not be transferred from the corresponding DOP account’s history.
{% endhint %}
