Users must be added within Knak to use the platform. IdP-initiated user provisioning is not currently supported.

When you successfully have SSO working, we will enable user creation without sending invites. If you need to add users in bulk please contact us and we will happily assist you.

Both IdP and SP initiated authentication are supported for SSO users. Either sign in using the Knak tile on your Identity Provider or use the SSO button on the login page and provide your email address to sign in

If you enable the option to "Force SSO" users from your company will have to use the SSO and will not have the option to use a password to log in. If you would like to have this feature enabled, please contact the Knak support team and we can enable "Force SSO" for your instance.

If an invite was sent to a user and they have not accepted the invite, they will not be able to log in until they have accepted the invite (screenshot shows a pending invite icon).

The admin can delete the user and add them via SSO or the user can just accept the invite and log in using the SSO URL.
