Step 1: Confirm User Setup & Account Configuration

Overview

This guide walks you through the steps to configure Signed Link SSO. Before utilizing Signed Link Single Sign-On, you must complete the following steps:

Step 1: Make sure users are set up correctly

  1. Create users in Yext. To add users via the platform, see Add a new user , or Add users in bulk . To do this via the API, visit Users: Create endpoint.
  2. Take note of the ID (id in the Users: List endpoint of the Knowledge API) of the User that you create. You will need this ID when generating the Signed Single Sign-On Link.
    • For most clients, theroleId is typically 9 or 20, Account Manager. You can also follow the steps in the Manage Users Guide to retrieve Available Roles.
    • Note: If you have a 1:1 relationship between user and entity or account, then the user ID should be equal to the entity ID or account ID.
  • Your account needs to be explicitly configured by Yext Technical Operations to use the Signed Link Single Sign-On option. Please email apisupport@yext.com, with your Account Manager copied, to enable this for your account.
  • Yext will provide you with a secret code (secret) that you will use to sign login requests, as described in the next section.
