What Is SAML?
SAML lets your team sign in to Taskade with the same Okta credentials they already use everywhere else — no second password to remember, no shadow IT. Identity lifecycle (joiners, movers, leavers) stays governed inside Okta. This guide walks through the full Okta + Taskade configuration in roughly 10 minutes.
TL;DR: In Okta, create a SAML 2.0 app integration with Single sign-on URL
https://www.taskade.com/saml/sso/login/callbackand Audience URIhttps://www.taskade.com/saml/sso/metadata. Add anuser.email. Copy Okta's SSO URL, Issuer, and X.509 certificate into Taskade's Settings → Organization → SAML SSO. Available on Business and Enterprise plans.
💡 Note: If your team is already using Taskade, your identity provider will take ownership of those accounts. Please inform your team before enabling SAML.
