SAML single sign-on and session controls for your analytics portal

EmbedPortal supports SAML single sign-on, so users sign in with your identity provider. Admins can enforce auto-logout after inactivity, ask members to confirm they still need access on a schedule, and review or revoke active sessions.

Setup

How it works

Most teams finish these steps in under an hour.

  1. Open SSO / SAML

    In Organization Settings, open SSO / SAML.

  2. Add your identity provider

    Enter the IdP metadata URL and copy the ACS URL into your identity provider.

  3. Map attributes

    Choose the email and group attributes. Groups can be assigned automatically from IdP claims.

  4. Set session policy

    Turn on auto-logout and access re-verification, then save the policy.

What you get

SSO and security features

SAML SSO

Works with identity providers that support SAML 2.0.

Group mapping

Assign portal groups from IdP group claims.

Auto-logout

Sign users out after a period of inactivity, from 5 minutes to 30 days.

Access re-verification

Members periodically confirm they still need access.

Active sessions

See where users are signed in and revoke a session.

Activity log

Logins, exports and admin changes are recorded.

Why session controls matter

Analytics portals often hold revenue, pricing and customer data. Access should end when people leave, and idle sessions should not stay open forever.

SSO, auto-logout and access re-verification handle that without extra work from your team.
