SSO, Active Directory and LinkedIn access for a frictionless academy login

Dynamic user creation

Every extra password is a reason for a learner not to finish training. Acadle supports single sign-on through Auth0, Active Directory integration and LinkedIn authentication so people enter the academy with credentials they already have.

For employees, Active Directory means access follows your existing identity policy: joiners get in automatically, leavers lose access, and IT does not maintain a second user list. For customers, SSO with your product's credentials keeps the academy feeling like part of the app.

LinkedIn sign-in widens access for public academies, communities and partner programmes where learners have no corporate account but still expect a one-click entry rather than a registration form.

SSO also drives automation. Dynamic user creation builds learner profiles from your rules at first login, and automatic content unlocking shows each person only the courses relevant to their role, plan or region.

Key takeaways

  • SSO removes the extra password that stalls training completion.
  • Active Directory keeps academy access aligned with employment status.
  • LinkedIn login suits public academies and partner communities.
  • Rules-based user creation unlocks the right content automatically.

How to roll out SSO for your academy

IT and enablement teams typically pilot SSO with one internal group before extending it to customers and partners.

  1. 1

    Pick the identity source

    Decide whether learners authenticate through Auth0, your Active Directory, your own app credentials or LinkedIn.

  2. 2

    Connect the provider

    Configure the integration so the academy trusts your identity provider for authentication.

  3. 3

    Define user creation rules

    Set the rules that build a learner profile at first login, including role, group and language.

  4. 4

    Map access to content

    Use those attributes to unlock the courses each learner should see and hide the ones they should not.

  5. 5

    Pilot then expand

    Test with a small internal group, confirm provisioning and de-provisioning work, then roll out to all audiences.
