Webflow Enterprise provides native SSO (Single Sign-On) integration exclusively available through Enterprise Workspace plans, addressing the identity and access management requirements of large organizations with complex team structures and enterprise security policies. SSO integration eliminates the friction of managing separate Webflow credentials for team members by allowing employees to authenticate using their existing corporate identity provider credentials, whether that's Okta, Ping Identity, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Active Directory, or LDAP systems.
The technical implementation leverages industry-standard federation protocols (SAML 2.0 and OAuth 2.0) that enable seamless authentication without storing passwords in Webflow systems. When an employee initiates a Webflow login, they are redirected to their organization's identity provider, authenticate once against centralized corporate credentials, and receive a secure token that grants them Webflow access, eliminating password fatigue and reducing security vulnerabilities from credential reuse. This federated approach aligns with enterprise zero-trust security models where identity verification occurs at the corporate perimeter rather than at the application level.
Beyond basic SSO functionality, Webflow Enterprise supports advanced identity management features including SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) and JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning. SCIM enables bidirectional synchronization where users created, modified, or deleted in the corporate identity provider automatically sync with Webflow, eliminating manual user provisioning workflows. JIT provisioning automatically creates Webflow accounts on first login without pre-staging, streamlining onboarding for temporary contractors or consultants. These capabilities significantly reduce IT administrative overhead while maintaining audit trails of who accessed Webflow and when, critical for compliance frameworks like SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA.
Organizations implementing Webflow Enterprise SSO benefit from centralized security policies. Corporate password policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements, and device compliance rules configured in the identity provider automatically apply to Webflow access without separate configuration. Session termination policies also extend to Webflow, when an employee is offboarded and their identity provider account disabled, Webflow access automatically revokes on next authentication attempt, eliminating manual access removal and reducing insider risk.
A SaaS company with 50+ marketing, design, and operations team members uses Okta SSO with Webflow Enterprise. New team members, once provisioned in Okta, automatically gain Webflow access within hours through JIT provisioning, without IT intervention. When an employee leaves, their Okta account deprovisioning automatically revokes Webflow access within the same day. The company previously managed separate Webflow credentials for each user, a significant administrative burden when team turnover occurred, now handled entirely through Okta's centralized system.

Yes, SSO is exclusively available on Enterprise Workspace plans. Standard workspace plans do not support SSO integration.
Yes, organizations can configure multiple identity providers through miniOrange or similar federation platforms that act as intermediaries, though native Webflow Enterprise SSO typically connects to a single primary provider.
Webflow supports SAML 2.0 and OAuth 2.0 protocols, enabling integration with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity, Active Directory, LDAP, Google Workspace, and other enterprise providers that implement these standards.
MFA enforcement is determined by your identity provider's policies. If your corporate identity provider requires MFA for all users, that requirement automatically applies to Webflow access through SSO.
When an employee's identity provider account is disabled or deleted, their Webflow session terminates on next authentication attempt. The SSO system does not grant new access tokens to disabled users, effectively revoking access without manual Webflow intervention.
