One login. Full access. Total control.

Managing multiple passwords and logins is messy for users and even worse for admins.

Single sign-on (SSO) solves this by letting your team access all their apps through one secure, central login.

At LeftBrain, we implement and manage SSO integrations that make life easier for your team and safer for your business.

Fewer passwords, fewer support tickets and better visibility over who can access what.

What is single sign-on?

SSO lets users log in once using a central identity provider such as Google Workspace, and then access multiple services without needing to log in again.

For example, you can:

• Sign in to Google
• Then automatically access Slack, Notion, Figma, Dropbox and more
• All without needing separate usernames or passwords

It works by creating trust between your central account and your business apps.

This reduces friction and centralises access control.

Why it matters

Without SSO, every user needs to manage separate logins for each tool.

That increases security risks and adds administrative overhead.

SSO helps you:

• Simplify onboarding and offboarding
• Improve security by relying on your primary platform’s policies
• Prevent password reuse across apps
• Reduce helpdesk requests for login issues
• Meet compliance expectations with clearer access logs

It gives your team an easier way to work and your admins more control over what is being accessed.

Our process

We do not just connect tools and leave. We design SSO integrations that fit how your business works and grow with you.

Step 1: Discovery and audit

We ask:

• What identity provider you currently use (Google, Microsoft or others)
• Which apps your team uses daily
• How you handle onboarding and offboarding
• Whether you need just-in-time provisioning for new users
• What your compliance and visibility requirements are

Step 2: Integration setup

We configure and test SSO for your core applications.

This may include:

• Google Workspace
• Microsoft 365
• Slack
• Notion
• Dropbox
• Figma
• Zoom
• Custom or industry-specific apps

We ensure the setup is consistent, secure and documented.

Step 3: Provisioning and permissions

Where supported, we enable just-in-time provisioning and deprovisioning.

This means:

• When a user joins, they are automatically granted access to the right apps
• When they leave, removing their central account revokes access across everything

This reduces manual admin and improves your offboarding process.

Step 4: Training and support

We help your team understand how SSO works, what to expect, and how to manage their new login process.

We also support any changes, troubleshoot issues and expand your integration list as your toolset evolves.

Benefits of SSO

Simplified user experience

Users only need to remember one login, reducing friction and support requests.

Centralised access control

You can see exactly who has access to each system and manage permissions from one place.

Improved security

You enforce security policies such as multi-factor authentication, strong passwords and session timeouts at the identity provider level.

Better onboarding and offboarding

Users get access to everything they need on day one, and lose access cleanly when they leave.

Fewer credentials in the wild

Minimising the number of passwords your team uses reduces the chance of compromise.
