To enable users to log in via Single Sign-On is now available for both ALICE Desktop (web) and ALICE Staff App (mobile). Single Sign-On allows users to authenticate through providers using the SAML 2.0 authentication language.(SSO), each user will need to have an Enterprise ID number (EID) associated with their user profile. The EID number can be updated individually or in bulk.

🔐 User Type & Roles

To perform this action in ALICE, the user must have at least Hotel Admin User Type or Hotel User Admin User Type access.

(lightbulb) Things to Consider

  • To configure SSO in ALICE, provide a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider metadata  XML file to ALICE Staff for configuration. This file describes the SSO SAML 2.0 Identity provider details, among other authentication information, and is necessary to configure SSO.  

  • Please allow at least 1 week lead time after providing the XML file for configuration. 

  • Each user will need an SSO ID. This field is visible in the individual user profile, but can also be updated in bulk via the “Batch Add/Edit Users” option. This step is completed by the property. Step-by-step instructions to complete this are included below.

  • The SSO ID or EID does not have to be the same as the ALICE Username.

  • NonTo enable the ability for non-SSO users to log in to the ALICE account with active ALICE user accounts will still be able to login to properties where SSO is enabled without using SSO authenticationlogin credentials rather than SSO, contact our support team at support@actabl.com.
