Hubken's e-learning glossary: SSO

What is SSO? Read our easy-to-understand definition

SSO

 

SSO is an initialism that stands for Single Sign-On. Using an SSO service, a user can log into multiple platforms with only one username and password.

 

SSO

 

With an SSO service, your e-learning platforms and all other business technologies use the same single set of login credentials, making it easy to manage for users and security administrators alike. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why might an organisation use SSO?

SSO is most likely to be used by organisations with multiple LMS integrations and other business relevant technologies requiring individual user logins. 

While this sounds less secure, it is actually a better way of managing passwords. With SSO, credentials are stored in a fortified digital space. Furthermore, if a user’s login details for one platform are compromised, administrators can quickly change multiple passwords at once to resolve the issue. 

What are the benefits of using SSO with e-learning?

SSO has multiple benefits, but the main one is undoubtedly time saving. Streamlining the entire login process across multiple online tools and platforms not only saves users time, but it saves administrators and technology experts time too. 

Users of SSO systems receive access to your organisation's entire e-learning ecosystem with one login, meaning faster access to achieve what they to. It also reduces login fatigue as there is no longer a need to remember multiple credentials, and thereby reduces support time strain on HR and admin staff. 

How do I get SSO?

SSO is a service that is only available if offered by your LMS provider. All HubkenCore clients can opt to subscribe to a robust SSO service with their e-learning package.
