5. Single Sign-On (SSO) [back to top]
For Enterprise customers we provide additional SSO options. We currently support the following authentication standards:
- OAuth
- SAML
- OpenID
Send an email to support@start.me to request SSO for your team.
6. IP Whitelisting [back to top]
For Enterprise customers we provide an IP Whitelisting option. This means that only people from a determined and controlled IP Address can access your custom domain.
With this feature, you can add a layer of security to your pages. You can also make it possible for your employees or team members to log in and access your shared pages without a username or password.
