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.
