Security login and SSO configuration

Security tab options

Enable Google Sign In: This option allows users to log in to the Urbantz platform using their Google credentials instead of a traditional username and password combination. When enabled, users will see a "Login with Google" button on the login page that redirects them to Google's authentication system. This is particularly useful for organizations that use Google Workspace. The feature is only available on the web interface, not on mobile applications.

Enable Custom Password Policy: This option allows platform administrators to enforce specific password requirements beyond the default settings. When enabled, administrators can configure detailed password criteria, including:

• Minimum number of characters
• Password re-entry period
• Password differentiation from previous passwords
• Requirement for at least one number
• Requirement for at least one lowercase letter
• Requirement for at least one uppercase letter
• Requirement for at least one non-alphanumeric character (special character)

By default, Urbantz requires passwords to have a minimum of 8 characters with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one numeric character. The custom policy feature allows organizations to strengthen these requirements to match their internal security policies.

SSO configuration

SSO (Single Sign-On) allows a member of an organization to access several web applications, such as URBANTZ, by authenticating with a single login and password (for example, the same login used to access your company's applications). The configuration is done in two steps.

Overview:

1. Activation of the option
2. Enabling and configuring SSO itself

1. Activation of the option

The first step is for you to contact Urbantz via your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to request the activation of the SSO service. Your CSM representative will also provide you with the "redirect_uri" URLs that you will need to whitelist on your end in order to avoid authorization errors. Once enabled, you can continue without our assistance.

2. Enabling and configuring SSO itself

SSO authentication must be configured by the platform manager and is done through the Administration tab as shown in the video below (Administration > Platform > General > Security):

Once the "custom authentication" is activated, the fields that are found in this section must be filled in by you with the information specific to your organization:

After saving the changes, users of your platform will be able to benefit from the ease of connection via SSO provided that they have a user profile in URBANTZ and the email addresses in your databases are identical to those in URBANTZ.

SSO is only available for the Urbantz web interface. Our mobile application currently does not support SSO.
