SAML SSO (Dashboard Login)
SAML Single Sign-On lets your team sign in to the StatusPage.me dashboard using your company’s existing identity provider (IdP) — the same credentials they use for Slack, GitHub, or any other internal tool.
Note: This article covers SSO for dashboard login (team access to StatusPage.me itself). If you want to restrict who can view a public status page, see Private Status Pages instead.
Supported Providers
SAML 2.0 is a widely-supported standard. StatusPage.me works with any compliant IdP, including:
- Okta
- Microsoft Azure AD / Entra ID
- Google Workspace (via SAML app)
- Auth0
- OneLogin
- JumpCloud
- Keycloak
- Any generic SAML 2.0 provider
How It Works
Once configured:
- Your team members visit the StatusPage.me login page
- They click Sign in with SSO and enter their company email domain
- They are redirected to your IdP’s login screen
- After successful authentication, they are returned to StatusPage.me and signed in
New users who authenticate via SSO are automatically provisioned with the role you’ve configured (default: Viewer). You can promote them to Admin or Editor from the Team settings.
Setup
SAML SSO is an Enterprise plan feature that requires setup by the StatusPage.me team. To enable it:
- Contact support at support@statuspage.me with the subject “SAML SSO setup”
- Provide your Identity Provider metadata URL or XML file
- We’ll send you the ACS (Assertion Consumer Service) URL and Entity ID to configure on your IdP side
- Test with a single user before rolling out to the team
Typical setup takes under 30 minutes once both sides are configured.
What to Configure in Your IdP
When creating the SAML app in your identity provider, you will need:
| Field | Value (provided by StatusPage.me) |
|---|---|
| ACS URL / Reply URL | Provided by support |
| Entity ID / Audience | Provided by support |
| Name ID format | Email address |
| Attribute mapping | email → user email |
Optional attributes (mapped if present):
firstName,lastName— pre-fills the user’s display name
