Integrate your AwareGO account with your Azure SSO to simplify logging in to the AwareGO portal.
Once set up, employees will use your company's credentials to log in to our training portal.
By doing so, you have control over what security level is needed.

FAQ
Why should I set up Azure SSO?
Setting up Azure SSO lets you decide what security level is needed for the training and access to the LMS platform. Your security policy is then in control who has access to the application and what level is needed. For example two factor authentication is in your security guidelines then that will be implemented here also.
Another feature is that you can start to use generic links for training. In our standard version we are creating unique-login-link for each employee that directs them straight to their training when clicked. That means that the link can not be shared between employees.
If you have Azure SSO you can simply distribute one generic link and upon login we will provide each user the correct training material.
Why can’t I upload these credentials myself on the admin portal?
This is a new service and the SSO settings page is currently in development.
What is the difference between Azure SSO and Azure AD sync?
The Azure SSO gives your employees the ability to login seamlessly with your own credentials.
Azure AD sync gives you, the admin, ability to import your list of users from AD to create targeted training campaigns.
How can I link directly to the training portal so it automatically sign you in using existing SSO session.
