Starting today, Single Sign-On (SSO) is available on every Business plan at Invent. No enterprise upgrade. No "Let's talk". No extra fee. Just better security, for everyone.
When your team logs in, a lot is at stake. Old access lingers after someone leaves.
Single Sign-On was designed to fix exactly that, but for years, most tools have gatekept it behind enterprise tiers priced for Fortune 500 companies. That ends today.
Invent Business just got better: now with SSO (Single Sign-On) for secure, enterprise-grade access, plus full support for custom branding, audit logs, and managing up to 100 sub-organizations.
What SSO actually does for your team
At its core, Single Sign-On (SSO) lets your team authenticate through your company's identity provider, think Okta, Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, instead of managing a separate username and password for every tool. The benefits compound quickly:
- One login controls access to everything. When someone joins, they're in. When they leave, one deactivation cuts access to every connected tool, instantly.
- Your IT team's existing security policies, MFA requirements, session limits, suspicious login detection, carry over automatically. You don't need to re-configure them in every app.
- Audit logs become coherent. When authentication flows through one provider, you get a unified picture of who accessed what and when.
Why most companies still gate it
SSO has been an enterprise feature for one reason: it's a powerful negotiation chip. SaaS companies know that once your workforce is authenticating through a tool, switching becomes painful. So they reserve it for large contracts, using it as both an upgrade incentive and a lock-in mechanism.
Typical SaaS
Model SSO as upsell: Reserved for enterprise tiers, often $30–50/seat/mo more. Smaller teams are left with password-based auth or third-party workarounds.
Invent approach
SSO for everyone: Available on every Business plan. Security should be a baseline, not a feature you negotiate for.
Sign in with your work account (SSO) using Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, or another OIDC provider. If your email matches an approved company domain, you’ll be automatically added to the correct workspace, and access will be granted based on your organization’s security policies.
Invent “Add OIDC Provider” setup dialog. The form fields include Display name, Domain/Issuer URL, Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect URIs, pre-filled with example placeholders such as "Acme Okta" and "https://your-org.okta.com". User can close or create the provider using buttons at the bottom.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a modern, open-standard authentication layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework. It allows users to securely log in to applications (Relying Parties) using credentials from an identity provider (like Google or Facebook) without sharing passwords, enabling Single Sign-On (SSO) across web, mobile, and APIs.
A few services have started to push back on this norm. Linear includes SSO at lower tiers. Vercel and Railway offer it without enterprise contracts. But they remain the exception, most major platforms (Notion, Figma, Slack) still treat it as a paid add-on or executive-tier feature. The argument that "enterprise customers need it more" doesn't hold up when breaches hit 50-person teams just as hard.
Who this matters for
If your Org already uses an identity provider, the path forward is straightforward: connect it, enforce it, and stop thinking about credentials at the app level. If you haven't set one up yet, this is a natural moment to do it: Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra both have generous starting tiers.
For ops and IT leads, the benefit is operational: fewer password reset tickets, cleaner offboarding checklists, and compliance postures that don't require exceptions. For founders and team leads, it's peace of mind, the kind that doesn't cost $800/month to access.
SSO works with all major identity providers, so whatever your team already uses, you're covered.

Everything you need to
lock down access
Invent's SSO setup is built around three connected controls:
- How users are allowed to sign in
- Which email domains belong to your org
- And which identity provider handles authentication. Here's what each one does.
Configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) in Invent: Set up domain-based access, choose authentication methods, and enable SSO providers like Auth0 for easy and secure user sign-in.
Access Policy
Control exactly how users on your claimed domains are allowed to sign in. Enable or disable Google and email code authentication independently, so you decide what's permitted, not the defaults.
Flexible sign-in policies: Invent lets you control how users from your claimed domains authenticate, enable Google sign-in, email code, or both for secure, seamless access.
Email Domains
Claim your company's domain to take ownership of who can join your workspace. Anyone with a matching email can be auto-joined at a default role, no invitation required. Their email is also locked, preventing them from changing it to a personal address.
SSO made simple with Invent: Instantly claim your company domain, auto-provision users, and control identity sync settings—all from an easy, guided panel.
Default roles on join
When a new user joins via SSO or auto-join, they're assigned a role automatically. Choose from Admin, Developer, Manager, or Agent, so no one lands with more access than they need.
Why SSO should be standard: The security lesson the Industry can’t ignore
Recent incidents across the software industry have made one point unavoidable: the biggest security risk is often not the product itself, but the way access is managed. When teams rely on separate passwords, inconsistent offboarding, and loosely controlled third-party tools, the attack surface grows fast.
That is why SSO should be treated as baseline infrastructure, not an enterprise upsell. It allows organizations to authenticate through a trusted identity provider, enforce company-wide security policies consistently, and revoke access immediately when someone leaves.
The lesson for SaaS teams, agencies, and growing businesses is straightforward: secure access should not depend on password hygiene alone. It should be built into the way your organization already works, through identity, domain ownership, and access policies that scale with the team.
By making SSO available on every Business plan, Invent gives growing teams the security controls they need without forcing them into enterprise pricing or unnecessary complexity.

FAQs
How easy is it to set up SSO on an Invent Business plan?
Setting up SSO on Invent is designed to be straightforward: you claim your domain, connect your identity provider (Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, Okta, or another OIDC provider), and configure your Access Policy. For most teams, that’s about five minutes in the workspace security settings.
Can I use SSO while still offering white‑label AI assistants to my clients?
Yes. SSO protects your team’s access to Invent, while your clients can still interact with fully branded AI assistants and portals. Identity and branding live in separate layers: your internal team logs in via your identity provider, and your clients see your brand, not Invent’s.
Is SSO on Invent only for large teams or agencies, or does it fit small businesses?
SSO on Invent is available on every Business plan, regardless of team size. Small teams benefit just as much: fewer password resets, cleaner offboarding, and consistent use of your existing security policies, all without an enterprise contract.
How does SSO on Invent compare to SSO on tools like Slack or Notion?
Unlike many platforms that reserve SSO for enterprise tiers, Invent offers it as a standard feature on all Business plans. With Slack, Notion, and Figma, SSO is typically gated behind higher‑priced plans, while Invent treats secure access as a baseline, not a premium upsell.
