# How does SSO/SCIM work? How do I get started with SSO/SCIM for my organization?

Optery provides a self-service workflow to configure SSO & SCIM for your organization. This allows your organization to use its Identity Authentication Provider (IAP) for seamless employee access to Optery accounts. Our solution supports a broad range of Identity Providers including Okta, Google, Azure, ADP, OpenID, Auth0, and more.

**SSO (Single Sign-On)** offers centralized authentication, allowing single login access across multiple systems, reducing login fatigue and improving security.

Benefits of integrating SSO include:

* Enhanced user experience with simplified logins.
* Improved security through centralized authentication and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
* Increased operational efficiency and reduced IT costs by automating user management and minimizing password-related support.

**SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management)** enhances security and user management by standardizing the exchange of user identities across systems. SCIM ensures accurate access controls and minimizes unauthorized data sharing risks.
