Want to make signing into Varsi simpler for your team? Single Sign-On (SSO) lets your organization connect Varsi to your existing identity provider, giving learners a more convenient way to access their accounts.

Setting it up only takes a few steps. Before you begin, make sure you have Admin or Super Admin access, as SSO settings are only available to these roles.

Here’s how to get started.

Step 1: Open Your Account Settings

From your Varsi dashboard, look for the rectangular profile icon at the bottom-left corner of the page. It displays your avatar and name.

Click the small upward-pointing arrow on the profile icon to open the account menu.

The sidebar features options like 'Learning Paths', 'Feedback', 'Account Settings', and 'Logout', along with a profile section for 'Bibi'. The main area shows metrics including 'people currently learning' and 'total courses created'.

You’ll see three options:

  • Feedback
  • Account Settings
  • Log Out

Select Account Settings.

Step 2: Go to Your Organization Settings

Your Account Settings page is where you can manage both your personal information and your organization’s settings.

You’ll land on the Personal section first, where you can view and update information such as your name and email address.

At the top of the page, you’ll also find Organization, Plans, Tags, and Integration.

Click Organization to continue.

Step 3: Find the SSO Setup

The Organization page opens with your Basic Information section. Here, you can manage details about your Varsi workspace, including your:

  • Workspace name
  • Workspace URL
  • Address
  • Admin email
  • Phone number
  • Website

Scroll down the page until you find SSO Setup.

Step 4: Enter Your SSO Details

In the SSO Setup section, you’ll be asked to provide three pieces of information from your identity provider:

Single Sign-On URL
Enter the SSO URL provided by your identity provider. This is the endpoint Varsi will use during the sign-in process.

Signing Certificate
Add the signing certificate supplied by your identity provider. This allows Varsi to verify that authentication responses are coming from the correct source.

Issuer (Entity ID)
Enter your identity provider’s Issuer or Entity ID. This identifies the system responsible for authenticating your users.

Make sure the information you enter matches the configuration provided by your identity provider.

Step 5: Complete Your SSO Setup

Once you’ve entered the required SSO information, review the details to make sure everything is correct and complete the setup.

Your organization’s SSO configuration is now ready, giving your team a simpler way to access Varsi using your organization’s existing authentication system.

Quick note: SSO settings can only be accessed and configured by Admins and Super Admins. If you don’t see the Organization or SSO Setup options described in this guide, check that your Varsi account has the required permissions.
