• We support Microsoft active directory login for customers, and SSO can be enabled for Enterprise plans.
• If you'd prefer to not use one of the login methods above, we also support logging in with a business email. If you choose this option, you would submit your login email and a code would be sent to your inbox. This code would then be used to log into the platform.
