Enforce SSO-Only Login

In SSO-enabled workspaces, the default username and password sign-in path on the workspace login page can be disabled by request. After Zenlytic applies the change, the workspace login page shows only your configured SSO provider as a sign-in option. This is a configuration Zenlytic applies on your behalf — it is not a self-serve setting in the workspace UI.

What it does

By default, Zenlytic workspaces accept sign-ins from both:

  • The default Cognito provider (username and password), and

  • Any SSO providers you've configured (Microsoft Entra, Okta, etc.).

When the default Cognito provider is disabled for your workspace, username/password sign-in is no longer available on the workspace login page.

Prerequisites

  • At least one SSO provider must be configured and verified working. See:

  • Strongly recommended: before requesting the change, confirm at least one administrator can successfully sign in via SSO.

How to request the change

To have the default Cognito provider disabled for your workspace:

  1. Contact your Zenlytic account team or [email protected]envelope.

  2. Confirm which workspace(s) you want the change applied to.

  3. Confirm at least one administrator account can sign in via SSO.

Zenlytic will apply the change on your behalf.

Recovery

If your IdP becomes unavailable after the default Cognito provider is disabled on the workspace login page, administrators can still sign in by going to app.zenlytic.comarrow-up-right directly with their username and password, then switching into the affected workspace from the workspace selector. The workspace-level setting only removes the Cognito option from the workspace login page — existing username/password credentials still authenticate at the top-level app entry point.

Recommendation: Admin and Organization Admin users should keep both an SSO login and a username/password login on file, so they always have a backup sign-in path if the IdP is ever unavailable.
