How to set up Single Sign-on with JWT

JWT Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users who are already authenticated on your external platform to access your community without logging in again.

Using JWT, your system securely passes verified user information to your community, creating a seamless login experience. This reduces friction, improves user experience, and keeps authentication managed through your primary platform.

Set Up SSO with JWT

Step 1: Click Admin Panel, navigate to Settings and Data, and select Integrations.

Step 2: Go to the Single Sign-On tab.

Step 3: Under SSO Method, choose JWT.

Step 4: Use your SSO key to generate a redirect URL:

1. Generate a JWT token with your key
   

   

2. Generate JWT with the key generated in step 1.
   

   

3. Form the URL to redirect users to.

4. The domain in the URL is your default GroupApp subdomain. eg, https://examplecommunity.group.app, the domain is examplecommunity
   

   

5. Redirect the user to the URL.
