Use Single Sign-on (SSO) with the Excel Add-in

The add-in:

• Does not support multi-factor authentication. 
• Supports Self Service SAML.

You might need your SSO Friendly URL to use SSO. Your tenant administrator can provide this.

The process to use SSO differs based on whether SSO Authentication is toggled on or off in the selected authentication setting. 

To use SSO when SSO Authentication is toggled on:

1. Select Sign In in the Anaplan ribbon.
   The Anaplan Sign In dialog displays.
2. Select Log in with Sign Sign On (SSO).
3. Select your SSO credentials.
   You are signed into the Excel Add-in.

To use SSO when SSO Authentication is toggled off:

1. Click Sign In in the Anaplan ribbon.
   The Anaplan Sign In dialog displays.
2. Select Use Single Sign-on.
   If your authentication setting does not have an SSO Friendly URL entered, select Edit your SSO Friendly URL and enter your SSO Friendly URL.
3. Select Continue.
   After you sign in with SSO for the first time, the add-in appends ?svcId=auth to the SSO Friendly URL. Do not remove this, it's required for technical reasons.
4. Enter your SSO credentials.
