SSO

Okta Integration for RFP Software | Inventive AI

Why does SSO matter for your RFP software?

An RFP and security-questionnaire platform holds some of your most sensitive material: your proposal library, pricing language, and the security answers you send prospects. Before a security team approves RFP automation software that holds material like that, they ask one early question does it support SSO? Without it, the tool stalls in review. With Okta SSO, you clear that gate on day one.

For the people doing the work, another password is another point of friction and one more thing to lose. Okta SSO lets them sign in to Inventive AI with the Okta credentials they already use, behind the multi-factor and access policies your organization already enforces. One login, one set of rules, nothing new to remember.

For IT, the value is control. Access is granted and revoked in Okta, not in yet another admin panel. When someone changes teams or leaves, you remove their access in Okta and they can no longer sign in to Inventive — no orphaned accounts left holding the keys to your proposal content.

What you can do with the Inventive AI + Okta integration

  • Sign in with one click: Users authenticate through Okta over SAML and land in Inventive AI without a separate password.
  • Enforce your own access policies: Because login runs through Okta, your multi-factor, device, and conditional-access rules apply automatically.
  • Manage access from Okta: Grant or remove access by assigning or unassigning the app in Okta, not in a separate tool.
  • Block access the moment someone leaves: Remove a user in Okta and they immediately lose the ability to log into Inventive, preventing unauthenticated sessions.
  • Keep the right roles inside Inventive: Map people to administrator or general-user roles automatically using Okta SAML attributes so each person sees only what their job needs.
  • Get new hires productive on day one: Assign the app in Okta and a new team member can sign in to Inventive on their first day.

How the Okta SSO integration works

  1. Connect over SAML. Find and add the Inventive AI app from the Okta Integration Network (OIN) or configure it as a custom SAML application, then exchange the metadata between the two systems.
  2. Assign users and groups. In Okta, assign the Inventive app to the people or groups who should have access.
  3. Apply your policies. Okta enforces your multi-factor, device, and conditional-access rules at sign-in.
  4. Manage access centrally. Add or remove access in Okta over time; changes take effect upon the user's next sign-in attempt or session expiration.

Frequently asked questions

Does Inventive AI support Okta for single sign-on?

Yes. Inventive AI supports SSO with Okta over the SAML protocol, and also works with other major identity providers such as Google and Microsoft.

Which SSO protocol does the Okta integration use?

The integration uses SAML. Inventive AI is added to Okta as a SAML application, and the two systems exchange metadata to establish trust.

Can we enforce MFA and conditional access through Okta?

Yes. Because sign-in runs through Okta, the multi-factor, device, and conditional-access policies you already configure in Okta apply when users log in to Inventive.

What happens to a user's access when they leave the company?

You remove or unassign the user in Okta, and they immediately lose the ability to sign in to Inventive. Access is controlled in your identity provider, so there are no orphaned logins to clean up separately.

Do users still need a separate Inventive AI password?

No. With Okta SSO, users sign in with their existing Okta credentials, so there is no separate password to create, remember, or reset.

Is Okta SSO available on our plan?

Inventive AI has usage based pricing, see pricing.
