Introduction
Configuring how users log in—both to the Sanas App and the Sanas Portal—gives you control over authentication across your organization. This works by selecting an Application Authentication mode, such as User Activation Key (UAK), Auto Activation, SSO, or Email-Passcode, so you can enforce consistent, secure sign-in while choosing the method that best fits your team's workflow.
The configuration can be applied at the Account level (organization-wide) or Group level. Select the account or group from the Group Tree on the left side of the portal before making changes. Most settings include a Lock Configuration toggle. Enable it to prevent subgroup administrators from overriding the setting.
Application Authentication
Controls how users log in to the Sanas App.
From the Sanas Portal, click Settings.
Under Configuration, look for Platform Authentication, then select Application Authentication.
Choose one authentication mode from the list below:
Authentication Mode | Description |
|---|---|
User Activation Key (UAK) | Users enter a valid UAK-generated by adding them to a Group. |
Auto Activation | Users on systems with the Sanas app and a valid installation key get automatic access. |
SSO (Single Sign-On) | Users with access through your SSO Provider can access the app directly. |
Email-Passcode | Users enter a valid email and passcode. |
Users sign in with their Google account. |
Note: To see how this setting affects the sign-in experience in the Sanas App, refer to the Sign In to Sanas article under Getting Started.
Portal Authentication

From the Sanas Portal, click Settings.
Under Configuration, look for Platform Authentication, then select Portal Authentication.
Add or select an existing SSO connection and view its call status (Enabled/Disabled).
Note: For detailed steps on configuring Single Sign-On, refer to our SSO Setup article.
