SSO
Learn how to set up SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On (SSO) for secure team authentication in Cursor
Overview
SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On (SSO) is available at no additional cost on the Cursor Business plan. This enables you to use your existing identity provider (IdP) to authenticate your team members, avoiding the need for your team members to have a Cursor account, and remember another password.
Prerequisites
- A Cursor Business plan
- Admin access to your identity provider (e.g., Okta)
- Admin access to your Cursor organization
Configuration Steps
Sign in to your Cursor account
Navigate to cursor.com/settings and sign in with an admin account.
Locate the SSO configuration
Find the “Configure SSO” button in the bottom left of the settings page
Begin the setup process
Click the button to start the SSO setup process, and follow the setup wizard to configure your identity provider.
Configure your identity provider
In your identity provider (e.g., Okta):
- Create a new SAML application
- Configure the SAML settings using the information provided in Cursor
- Set up Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning for seamless user access
