SAML lets users access multiple web applications with one set of credentials by securely exchanging authentication data between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider. GoGuardian administrators can enable SAML for their staff as an additional sign-in option for GoGuardian Admin, GoGuardian Teacher, GoGuardian Beacon, and Org Management.
