Retail | Understanding Enterprise SSO at BLAZE
Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) at BLAZE allows large organizations to integrate their corporate identity provider (such as Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace) with BLAZE products. This enables centralized user management, enhanced security, and seamless access across all BLAZE applications.
Note: Enterprise SSO is available to Enterprise-tier customers. If you're on a Premium or Pro tier, see How to Sign In with Social Login instead.
What is Enterprise SSO?
Enterprise SSO connects BLAZE to your organization's identity provider. When enabled, your employees log in to BLAZE using their company credentials managed by your IT department — the same credentials they use for other corporate applications.
Key Benefits
- Centralized User Management: IT admins control user access from your identity provider (eg: Microsoft Entra ID), not from within BLAZE
- Enhanced Security: Enforce your organization's security policies, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), password complexity, and conditional access
- Automatic Provisioning/Deprovisioning: When an employee joins or leaves your organization, their BLAZE access is automatically granted or revoked
- Domain Restrictions: Limit BLAZE access to users with email addresses from your company domain
- Seamless Access: Employees log in once and access BLAZE Retail Admin, POS, and ECOM without re-authenticating
Supported Identity Providers
BLAZE Enterprise SSO supports the following identity providers:
- Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)
- Google Workspace
How Enterprise SSO Works
- Your IT administrator configures the integration between your identity provider and BLAZE
- BLAZE creates a dedicated SSO realm for your organization
- Employees navigate to the BLAZE login page and select your company's SSO option
- They're redirected to your identity provider's login page
- After authenticating, they're redirected back to BLAZE and logged in automatically
- The App Switcher allows seamless navigation between BLAZE Retail, POS, and ECOM
Prerequisites
To enable Enterprise SSO, your organization needs:
- An active BLAZE Enterprise subscription
- An active Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace account
- IT administrator access to your identity provider
- Domain ownership verification (for domain restrictions)
