Administrator Setup - 3.Enabling SSO with PV Admin

PV Admin allows the Federated Authentication through it's in-product PV Admin SSO capability.

This allows users to not only log in to AdaptiveWork through the traditional log in page, but alternatively directly from PV Admin and therefore providing a centralized access & authentication mechanism across different Planview products and services.

To enable PV Admin SSO, the respective Administrator shall follow the steps below:

In Planview Admin

1. In PV Admin, select the Products tab > in the Planview AdaptiveWork tile:

  • click 3 dots next to Manage Product > Select Enable Planview Admin authentication:                                                                                 clipboard_ee362739b7cf66428ebc83cb7d755ca6f.png
