Overview

Stack Overflow for Teams Enterprise (SOE) uses single sign-on (SSO) for user authentication. Instead of logging in directly on the site, users log in to an external identity provider (IdP). That IdP then passes their identity and authentication to SOE.

THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO STACK OVERFLOW FOR TEAMS ENTERPRISE ONLY.
Other Stack Overflow for Teams users should read this article instead. Find your plan.

SOE uses the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standard for SSO. You can learn more about SAML in our SAML Authentication Overview document.
