How to set up SSO (single sign-on)

Lusha supports three SSO options: Google, Office 365, and SAML-based SSO via Okta or Azure. Admins and Managers on Scale plans can configure SAML SSO for their team. Google and Office 365 sign-in are available to all users.

For a custom SAML 2.0 app built from scratch in Okta, see the Okta SAML 2.0 setup article instead.

1. Go to the Lusha signup page.
2. Click Continue with Google.
3. Select your Gmail Business account from the pop-up.

1. Go to the Lusha signup page.
2. Click Continue with Office 365.
3. Select your Microsoft Office Business account.

💡 Note: You can switch from Google/Office 365 to a password-based login at any time by clicking Forgot password — a reset link will be sent to your email address.

You'll need Lusha Admin or Manager permissions and Okta admin access to complete this setup.

1. In Okta, go to the Applications tab and add Lusha to your applications.

2. Assign the team members who will use Lusha with Okta to the Lusha application.

1. Go to the Sign-On tab and click View SAML setup instructions.
2. Copy the IDP metadata XML.

1. Go to Account Settings.
2. Paste the XML metadata under the Okta activation section.
3. Click Test SSO. Lusha runs a real sign-in against the metadata you provided and only shows SSO test passed once it succeeds — nothing is enforced yet at this point.
4. Once the test passes, click Apply.

Your account is now integrated with Okta. Team members assigned in Okta will sign in via Okta only.

💡 Note: Users must already be part of your Lusha account before being assigned in Okta. After assigning, they can sign in via Okta or from Lusha's login page by clicking Sign in with SSO provider.

You'll need Lusha Admin or Manager permissions and Azure admin access to complete this setup.

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. Go to Enterprise applications and add Lusha.

3. Search for Lusha and click the Lusha URL in the results.

4. Click Single sign-on from the left panel.

5. Under SAML Certificate, download the Federation Metadata XML.

1. Go to Account Settings.
2. Paste the XML under the Azure AD activation section.
3. Click Test SSO. Lusha runs a real sign-in against the metadata you provided and only shows SSO test passed once it succeeds — nothing is enforced yet at this point.
4. Once the test passes, click Connect.

1. Assign team members by going to the Users tab → New user → Invite users.

Your account is now integrated with Azure. Team members will be able to sign in using Azure SSO and Office 365.

💡 Note: Users must already be part of your Lusha account before being assigned in Azure. After assigning, they can sign in via Azure or via Lusha's login page by clicking Sign in with SSO provider.
