Authentication Setup Guide

Follow these steps to configure how your team members log in to Outdoo.

Before You Begin

Decide which login methods you want to allow:

• Email & Password
• Google / Microsoft
• SAML (with your Identity Provider)

If using SAML:

• Confirm you have admin access to your IdP (e.g., Azure AD, Okta).
• Collect necessary metadata (URL or XML file).
• Prepare your Outdoo-provided values (Entity ID and Reply URL).

Step 1: Enable Login Methods

Go to Company Settings → Authentication.

Choose allowed methods:

• Email & Password
• Google
• Microsoft
• SAML (requires setup below)

Step 2: Configure SAML (if applicable)

1. In your Identity Provider (IdP) admin console, create a new SAML application.
   • Enter the following Outdoo details when prompted:
     • Entity ID
     • Reply URL (ACS URL)
   • Ensure you assign the users, teams, and groups correctly in your IdP SAML application
2. Provide Outdoo with your IdP Metadata URL or upload the Metadata XML file:
3. Configure the logout redirect URL in your IdP:

Step 3: Adjust Authentication Policies

Set the re-authentication interval (e.g., every 2 months).

Decide whether team members can update their own profile details.

Note: This does not affect call recording preferences. Users can always adjust their own recording settings if allowed at the user level.

 Step 4: Test Login

Log out of Outdoo.

Try logging in with each enabled method.

Confirm that SAML redirects correctly to your IdP and back to Outdoo.

🎉 Step 5: Roll Out to Your Team

Share login instructions with your team.

Encourage them to test and confirm access.

Monitor the first login attempts to ensure everything works smoothly.

👉 Pro Tip: If you’re switching from Email & Password to SAML-only login, make sure at least one admin account is already SAML-enabled before disabling password login. This prevents lockout.
