# What Is SAML Single Sign-On (SSO)?

## Simply put, SAML allows you to use one set of credentials to log in to multiple websites.

SAML is only available on the Enterprise edition, [learn more](http://app.projectmanager.com/go/pricing)

 

Security Assertion Markup Langauge (SAML) allows identity providers to pass authorization credentials to log into websites. Some examples of identity providers include Google, Azure, Okta and more. There are many benefits of SAML, but many organizations enable it for increased security because credentials are sent to the identity provider directly.

SAML is available on the Enterprise edition of ProjectManager. If you are on the Enterprise edition, you don’t need to enable SAML on your account. To make your account more secure without enabling SAML, you can enable [strong password policies](https://learn.projectmanager.com/password) or[two-factor authentication.](https://learn.projectmanager.com/how-to-enable-two-factor-authentication)

If you’d like to set up SAML on your Enterprise account using your preferred provider, check out this article [here.](https://learn.projectmanager.com/sso)
