SSO LMS integration that removes the biggest barrier to adoption

The number one reason employees don't use their LMS is they can't remember the login. Thrive's LMS SSO removes that barrier completely. Connect to your existing identity provider and your people are in with one click, the same way they access email, Teams or Slack.

Thrive integrates with all major SSO providers including Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, Google Workspace, OneLogin and any SAML 2.0 or OAuth 2.0 compliant identity provider. Your IT team connects it once and every employee gets seamless access from day one.

Password resets are the most common IT support request in most organisations. LMS SSO eliminates them entirely for your learning platform. Employees use their existing corporate credentials and never need to create, remember or reset a separate LMS password again.

When someone joins, their LMS account is created automatically through your identity provider. When someone leaves, access is revoked instantly. SSO connected to user provisioning means your platform is always in sync with your people directory without manual admin.

SSO works identically across Thrive's desktop platform and mobile app. Employees tap once on their phone and they're in. No separate mobile login, no app-specific credentials. The same seamless experience on every device.
