Single Sign On

If single sign-on is optional or not required for your Workspace, you can re-link or unlink an SSO provider here. If SSO is required, you'll be prevented from unlinking it.

Login Permissions for ClickUp Support

Login permissions are available on every plan. By default, this setting is disabled.

When someone in your Workspace connects with ClickUp support the support specialist sometimes needs account access for troubleshooting purposes. Support specialists must ask permission to access the account each time.

To streamline this process, everyone in your Workspace can enable Login permissions for their own account. This allows support to securely access the items the account holder has access to and is requesting assistance with. 

On the Enterprise Plan, Workspace owners and admins can override the individual account login settings by disabling the Login permissions for the entire Workspace. 

To enable Login permissions for your account:

  1. In the upper-right corner, click your personal avatar. 
  2. Select Settings.
  3. On the My Settings page, scroll down to Login permissions for ClickUp Support and select one of the following settings:
