Configure Single Sign-On (SSO) to authenticate and manage access to Warp across your organization.

Warp uses SSO to authenticate users and control access to your Warp workspace. Configure SSO at the workspace level, then manage access through your identity provider.

Warp supports the following identity providers:

  • Okta
  • Microsoft Entra ID
  • Google Workspace
  • OneLogin
  • Any SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect (OIDC) compatible provider
  • SSO enforcement - Workspace admins can require SSO for all workspace members, preventing login via other methods.
  • Multi-factor authentication - MFA is enforced through your identity provider’s policies. Warp respects MFA requirements configured in Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, etc.
  • Session management - Configurable session timeouts and re-authentication policies through your identity provider.

SSO is configured through WorkOS in coordination with Warp’s team:

  1. Contact your Warp account team or enterprise support to initiate SSO setup.
  2. Warp creates an organization for your workspace in WorkOS and sets its domain.
  3. Your IT admin receives an email invite from WorkOS.
  4. Follow the WorkOS setup wizard to connect your identity provider (configure SAML attributes or OAuth scopes, provide your SSO URL and certificate).
  5. Once complete, workspace members can log in via Continue with SSO on the Warp login page.

After enabling SSO, existing users who signed up with email or OAuth need to link their accounts. See Linking existing accounts below.

Before rolling out SSO to your workspace:

  1. Open an incognito/private browser window.
  2. Navigate to the Warp login page.
  3. Click Continue with SSO.
  4. Enter your organization’s domain.
  5. Verify you’re redirected to your identity provider and can log in successfully.

Warp supports SCIM for user lifecycle management. Provisioning works through Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning combined with SSO and domain capture:

  • User provisioning - Add users to the Warp application in your identity provider. Once they sign in via SSO, they are automatically added to your Warp workspace.
  • Domain auto-join - Users who sign in with SSO from your configured domain are automatically joined to your workspace. See Domain auto-join for setup details.
  • User deprovisioning - Removing a user from the Warp application in your identity provider prevents future SSO logins. Existing sessions are not immediately revoked.

Users who created a Warp account before your organization enabled SSO need to link their accounts:

  1. Log in to Warp with the original method (email, Google, or GitHub).
  2. Navigate to the SSO linking page.
  3. Complete the linking process.
  4. Log out and log back in with Continue with SSO.

Domain auto-join allows users from your organization to automatically join your Warp workspace after SSO authentication.

Domain configuration is set up by the Warp team during onboarding. Contact your Warp account team to configure or update your workspace domain.

Once your workspace domain is configured, users who sign in via SSO from that domain are automatically added to your workspace.

Common causes:

  • SSO not properly configured in your identity provider.
  • User trying to launch Warp directly from SSO provider (not supported).
  • User has an existing Warp account that needs to be linked to SSO.

Solution:

  1. Verify SSO configuration in your identity provider.
  2. Have users log in through the Warp login page and select Continue with SSO.
  3. For existing accounts, follow the SSO linking process.

Warp won’t open from SSO provider portal

Section titled “Warp won’t open from SSO provider portal”

Problem: Clicking Warp in Okta/Microsoft Entra ID portal shows an error.

Solution: Log in directly through the Warp login page and select Continue with SSO instead.
