Okta: Login with SAML

This feature is only available on a Pro or Advanced plan and is not enabled by default. If you’d like to enable this feature, please reach out via the chat in the bottom right corner within Aikido.

If you switch to SAML Login instead of auto-onboarding via your Git provider, team import from GitHub, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps will no longer work. You will need to manage your teams manually moving forward, either through the Aikido UI or Access Profiles.
