About This Feature

Overview

WPS SSO Authentication is an enterprise admin feature in WPS 365 for configuring single sign-on. It supports SAML and Oauth2.0 so members can sign in to WPS 365 with an existing enterprise account system.

Core capabilities include:

Add an authentication source for enterprise sign-in.
Choose an authentication protocol based on the organization’s identity system.
Verify and save the configuration so members can sign in with enterprise accounts.

This feature is suitable for enterprise administrators who want to manage sign-in methods centrally and connect WPS 365 to an existing identity provider.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports adding an authentication source in the admin console and configuring enterprise SSO with SAML or Oauth2.0 so members can sign in to WPS 365 with enterprise accounts after the setup is saved.	Microsoft Entra can enable SAML single sign-on for an enterprise application, with admin setup for sign-on URL, reply URL, and certificate download.	Google Workspace supports both SAML-based and OIDC-based SSO, with SSO profiles, IdP entity ID, sign-in URL, and certificate configuration.	Notion supports SAML SSO for Business Plan and Enterprise Plan workspaces, with setup by a workspace owner and verified domains.	Adobe Admin Console supports identity setup and single sign-on so employees can access Adobe apps with organizational credentials.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The setup entry is centralized in the WPS 365 admin console for direct member sign-in management. Distinct: It supports both SAML and Oauth2.0 in the same feature flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation focuses on a broader enterprise application integration flow in Entra admin tools, with more setup fields and tenant-side configuration steps.	Compared with WPS: Google provides SSO profiles and assignment controls for organizational units or groups, but the setup is centered on Google as the service provider.	Compared with WPS: Notion SAML SSO requires a Business Plan or Enterprise Plan and domain verification before activation.	Compared with WPS: Adobe SSO is tied more closely to directory, domain, and Federated ID management across the organization.

Overall Conclusion
WPS SSO Authentication is a practical fit for teams that want to configure enterprise sign-in from one admin console. For organizations that already use an identity provider, SAML or Oauth2.0 setup can connect existing enterprise accounts to WPS 365 access.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable For	Main Pain Point	How It Helps
1	Unified enterprise sign-in	Enterprise administrators	Members need to remember multiple account passwords	Configure SSO so members sign in with enterprise accounts
2	Connect an existing identity system	IT administrators	The current IdP is not yet connected to the office platform	Add an authentication source with SAML or Oauth2.0
3	Validate authentication before rollout	Admin and operations teams	Incorrect settings can block member sign-in	Verify the SSO configuration before saving it
4	Keep the original sign-in method	Members and administrators	Teams worry that switching sign-in methods may affect current access	Keep password sign-in available as described in the FAQ
5	Prepare domains and certificates	Enterprise IT teams	Incomplete identity details can delay setup	Prepare certificates, sign-in URLs, entity IDs, and domain details in advance
