## Managing Single Sign-On (SSO) with Stripe Organizations

Stripe Organizations provides a centralized solution for managing Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple Stripe accounts. This is particularly beneficial for businesses operating with several Stripe accounts and utilizing SSO for user authentication.

### Key Features and Benefits:

*   **Centralized SSO Configuration:** Configure SSO settings for all accounts within your organization from a single location.
*   **Streamlined Authentication:** Simplify user access and management by consolidating authentication across multiple Stripe accounts.
*   **Consolidated Authentication Apps:** When adding existing SSO-configured accounts to an organization, Stripe consolidates their individual SSO settings into the organization's single sign-on settings. This means you'll manage authentication apps centrally.
*   **Read-Only Individual Account Settings:** After an organization is set up with SSO, the SSO settings within individual accounts become read-only. All edits, such as verified domains and enforcement, must be made at the organization level.
*   **Simplified Onboarding:** New accounts that share the organization's SSO configuration can be easily added.

### How it Works:

1.  **Organization Creation:** When you create a Stripe Organization, Stripe automatically consolidates the SSO settings of the accounts you add.
2.  **Centralized Management:** You can then manage your organization's SSO settings, including verified domains and enforcement policies, directly from the organization's dashboard.
3.  **Account Inheritance:** Accounts within the organization will inherit the SSO configuration set at the organization level.

### Prerequisites:

*   You must have multiple Stripe accounts and use SSO for authentication.
*   To set up SSO for the first time, refer to Stripe's general Single Sign-On documentation.

By leveraging Stripe Organizations for SSO, businesses can enhance security, streamline user management, and ensure consistent authentication practices across their entire Stripe ecosystem.
