Setting up an AWS SSO connection to Stormboard.
The following is required:
-

Why integrate SSO?
In this tutorial, you learn how to integrate Stormboard with AWS. Integrating Stormboard with AWS provides you with the following benefits:
-

-
You can manage your accounts in one central location within AWS
Steps to establish the SSO integration
1. Log into Stormboard as a Team Administrator in one browser tab
2. From the menu icon on the top left, select My Account.
a. Select your team under My Teams
b. Scroll down to the Authentication section and select AWS.

The "Required" field allows you to set if a user is required to be authenticated with SSO in order to enter a Storm (what we call your digital workspace).
