Simplified single sign-on (SSO) process

August 12, 2026

If your team uses SSO (single sign-on) with an identity provider, you can now sign in with just your email address without using your team ID. Netlify recognizes your domain and sends you straight to your identity provider.

Previously, SSO required you to know your Team ID. That meant every new hire had to know and enter a Team ID, and anyone who forgot or didn’t know it was stuck at the login screen. It was a small detail that quietly created support work for the people administering the team.

Now the flow is simplified: enter your email, get redirected to whichever identity provider your team has configured, authenticate there, and land back in Netlify.

This is live for every team using SSO with an identity provider that lets you use your email address to authenticate. This means your existing SAML setup already carries everything Netlify needs to route people to the right place.
