Ask HN: Best time to move logins to SSO?

1 pointsbrycelarkin2y ago2 comments

When you're just starting the company? When you get your first venture round? When you hire your 10th person?

I know every company I've worked at that didn't have SSO had problems offboarding people because each group (eg, Finance, Product, Engineering, etc.) purchased their own set of SaaS services and there was no central place for IT to manage access.

The downside is cost. Some companies charge 100%+ the base price for sso (https://sso.tax/).

Adding SSO doesn't mean everything must use the sso. I would implement it at the start. It can also make things easier for the companies that don't tax the sso. So the login to services is faster and offboarding is also easier for sso enabled apps. edit: misunderstood the question.
