Single Sign-On | Release Notes

By On

We are pleased to announce the launch of the feature Single Sign-On. This is the first of many features and enhancements that we will be launching over the course of the next year.What is Single Sign-On? Income Access single sign-on (SSO) is a type of login authentication of multiple and independent affiliate programs. As the name implies, SSO allows users to sign in once with a username and password and access multiple affiliate programs with different sites.

The system stores the initial credentials and enables users to switch between linked sites without having to sign in to each one individually. When applied, single sign-on allows you to access all affiliate programs associated with your account.

To use SSO functionality, first user should register an account by his email address. Then user has an ability to link his credential for specific affiliate program by having a site`s URL, local username and password. User always has ability to unlink any linked account later.Benefits to Affiliates/Affiliate Managers
