You need to be an account OWNER to make the changes.

Single sign on (SSO) with Azure AD will allow users in your organization to sign in to TeamRetro using their existing AD login - no need to create a separate TeamRetro account.


  1. Log in to TeamRetro and select the SETTINGS —> SSO tab.


  1. Select ADD IDENTITY PROVIDER.


You will be presented with your TeamRetro service provider (SP) settings

Leave this window open for the moment - we'll need this information to complete the configuration of the TeamRetro app in Azure AD.
