Mapping Users for Single Sign-On in the Environment Hub

Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

User Permissions Needed
To set up and configure the Environment Hub: “Manage Environment Hub”

You can define a mapping between a user in the hub organization and one or more users in a member organization. If single sign-on has been enabled for the member organization, all mapped users can log in to it from the Environment Hub without needing to provide credentials.

User mappings can be many-to-one (but not one-to-many). This means you can associate multiple users in the hub organization to the same user in a member organization. This can be useful, for example, if you want a group of users to log in to a test organization as the same user, so they experience exactly the same configuration.

To define a new single sign-on user mapping in Environment Hub:
  1. On the Environment Hub main page, click the name of the organization.
  2. Click New SSO User Mapping on the hub member detail page.
  3. In the page that appears, enter the username for the member organization and specify the corresponding user for the hub organization using the lookup field.
  4. Click Save (or Save & New to save and add a new mapped user).
  • If a user mapping has been defined and the user is still unable to use single sign-on, check that the user’s profile has the appropriate permissions enabled. For details, see Setting up Environment Hub.
  • SSO doesn’t work for newly added users or for SSO user mappings defined in a sandbox organization. Only add users, edit user information, or define SSO user mappings in the parent organization for the sandbox.
