# Setting up SSO

Getting started with SSO in SonarQube Cloud.

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.

{% hint style="info" %}
For GHE.com and GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) organizations, set up SonarQube Cloud SSO for developer access. The **GitHub** login option supports GitHub.com accounts only. See Signing in to SonarQube Cloud for [GHE.com](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/creating-organization/importing-ghecom-cloud-organization.md#signing-in-to-sonarqube-cloud) or [GHES](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/creating-organization/importing-ghes-organization.md#signing-in-to-sonarqube-cloud).
{% endhint %}

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 %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started-with-enterprise/setting-up-sso.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
