Login options
The administrators Login options determine how administrators are allowed to sign in to the portal and are enabled only when Administrator Single Sign-on is enabled. See Administrator single sign-on for more information.
Select the sign in method to be used by administrators to access the cloud portal.
- Password only: Selected by default, this option is always used when administrator single sign-on has not been enabled and configured. Administrators are required to enter a user name and password if this option is selected. When two-factor authentication is enabled, administrators are prompted to enter the code displayed on their authenticator app.
- SSO + Password: When this option is selected, administrators may sign in to the cloud portal using a user name and password, or the single sign-on option. When two-factor authentication is enabled, administrators using the password option are prompted to enter the code displayed on their authenticator app.
- SSO: Administrators must sign in to the portal using single sign-on. If necessary, administrators who have Managed User permissions are allowed to sign in using a user name and password as a fallback option. If this fallback option is used, and two-factor authentication is enabled, administrators are prompted to enter the code displayed on their authenticator app.
Important: When using the SSO related login options, you must access the portal with the following link https://portal.bitglass.com/accounts/login/.
Note: If enabling SSO Only - remember to review your existing Administrator permissions and remove the Manage User permission from any Administrator that should not be able to login using
their username and password as a fallback option.
