Single Sign-On (SSO)

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that enables users to securely authenticate with applications and websites by using just one set of credentials.

Accurri currently supports Single-Sign On with:

  • Google (OAuth 2.0)
  • Microsoft Azure (OAuth 2.0)

Accurri does not use federation for SSO. The Accurri application acts as an OAuth client that requests the users's identity (email and full name) from the current browser session. 

To log into Accurri using Azure AD, a user must click the 'Sign in with Microsoft' button on the log in page. If the user was already authenticated in the same browser against Azure AD, they will go straight into the Accurri application. Otherwise, the user is redirected to the Azure authentication page to log in there and then, in the case of a successful log in to Azure, redirected back to Accurri.

Accurri is not a single-page application, so it does not use access or refresh tokens. The user's authentication is stored using a cookie-based approach. If users can log in to Azure AD, then they are ready to use SSO in Accurri. 

Accurri uses the user's email address to distinguish users. As a result, Microsoft Azure profiles must have an email address associated with them or the user will not be able to log in using Microsoft Azure Single Sign-On. Accurri Support are unable to assist with the administration of Microsoft Azure accounts.

If configured for SSO, the user will not be able to log in with an Accurri username and password.

SSO setup - new users

To configure Single Sign-On for a new user:

  • Login as an Administrator or Manager
  • Click Administration > Manage users
  • Click the New user button
  • Enter the email address of the user
  • In the Single Sign-On selection click the appropriate identity provider. For example 'Yes - Google'
  • Select the user type
  • Set the user rights if required
  • All other fields are disabled as they will be automatically populated the first time the user logs in
  • Click OK

SSO setup - existing users

To configure Single Sign-On for an existing user:

  • Login as an Administrator or Manager
  • Click Administration > Manage users
  • Click the user to edit
  • In the Single Sign-On selection click the appropriate identity provider. For example 'Yes - Google'
  • Click OK


Note: Two-factor authentication within Accurri will be disabled if SSO is enabled. 2FA is handled by your trusted identity provider.

An email will be sent to the user with details of how to log in.

Login using SSO

Steps to login to Accurri for SSO users are:

  • At the Accurri log in screen the user clicks the appropriate button. For example 'Sign in with Google'
  • The user is redirected to Google to sign in with their Google username and password
  • If authenticated the user will be redirected to Accurri and logged in
  • If configured for SSO, the user will not be able to login with a username and password at the Accurri log in screen. They will only be able to log in with the selected trusted identity provider.

If you are unable to log in to your account due to any issue with single sign on authentication, one of your Administrators or Managers will need to turn off single sign on authentication in Manage users and create a new password for your account. These new login credentials will be emailed to you. Your Administrator or Manager can re-enable SSO again, if required.


Two-factor authentication

  • Two-factor authentication is optional for each user and can only be turned on and off by an Administrator or Manager.
  • When turned on, after logging in with a username and password, a code will be required to be typed in from another device, such as a mobile phone.

Some important points about two-factor authentication:

  • When enabled for a user, the next time the user logs in they will be forced to setup two-factor authentication, there is no option for the user to skip setup.
  • During the two-factor authentication setup process the user is provided 10 recovery codes, which may be used to log in if the two-factor device is unavailable for any reason. These codes should be downloaded and treated securely, as if they were passwords. This is the only time these recovery codes can be downloaded.
  • When enabled for a user, Accurri Support have no access to the recovery codes for a user and cannot disable two-factor for a user unless an account verification process is successfully completed by the user.


If a user cannot access their account due to any issue with two-factor authentication, or the user has switched to a new phone or device, an Administrator or Manager will be required to turn off two-factor authentication for the user and if required, turn it on again. This will allow the user to setup two-factor authentication again on a device.

Commencing an account verification process with Accurri, when an account cannot be accessed for any reason is a time consuming process and can only be completed for a user type of Administrator, User or Manager. If a Reviewer cannot access their account, the only method to gain access is for one of their Administrators or Managers to turn off two-factor authentication.
