When teams are asked to do more with less, reliable access to digital tools becomes a must. Logging in to essential applications should be simple, painless, and above all, secure. That’s why TUNE now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) user authentication through Google Workspace. If your organization already uses Google Workspace for SSO, you can extend that same login experience to employee users in TUNE. It’s one more way to keep your program easier to manage, more consistent for your team, and better aligned with your internal security standards.
Why TUNE Offers SSO Support
Single sign-on lets users access multiple systems or applications with one secure login. Instead of managing another username and password for TUNE, your team can use the authentication flow they already trust. If you do not currently use an SSO service, we suggest checking out Okta or Microsoft Azure in addition to Google Workspace, as TUNE supports all three options.
For advertisers managing an affiliate marketing program, the consistency offered by SSO can make a noticeable difference. SSO helps to reduce password sprawl, supports tighter access controls, and gives IT teams a more reliable way to manage user authentication across business-wide tools. It also reduces friction points and provides a smooth onboarding experience for new users.
Okta has reported that SSO can reduce login-related help desk tickets by 75% and new user onboarding time by up to 50%. Faster access means new team members can get into the platform sooner and start supporting your program right away, accelerating your time to value on TUNE.
How to Enable Google Workspace SSO in TUNE
TUNE has an excellent step-by-step setup document that can quickly walk you through the Google Workspace integration process.
Support for Google Workspace SSO is made possible through the SAML protocol. In fact, any SAML based SSO solution should be compatible with TUNE SSO features.
For now, TUNE’s SSO implementation will support all Employee level users. Partner and Advertiser users aren’t supported at this time.
