Automatic sign-in (SSO) for Azure Active Directory in Cayosoft Web Portal

---

Overview

Automatic sign-in for Azure Active Directory allows users to sign in to Cayosoft Web Portal using their Office 365 account, without providing their credentials to Cayosoft Administrator. All user interactions happen with the Microsoft Office Sign-in page and might include additional verification steps, like the second factor, depending on Azure AD configuration. This method enables Single Sign-On (SSO) experience for delegated administrators and employees.

Each user who requires access to the Cayosoft Web Portal must have a valid Office 365 account that belongs to Office 365 tenant managed by Cayosoft Administrator.
