We've changed the way you login via SSO on the Desktop for a more easy, and secure login flow.

What is Access Identity?

Access Identity is a login portal which is being introduced to help evolve the PeopleHR login, bringing a more secure authentication and streamline flow, allowing users to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials.

What has changed?

Once we update your site to use Access Identity for SSO, the following changes will apply:

1. This screen is no longer available.

All users will now see a new PeopleHR login screen, which requires them to enter their Email address to proceed.

2. All users will see a new Access Identity screen as part of the login process, every time they login to PeopleHR.

In this article, we are providing step-by-step guideance on how to login via Access Identity and SSO.

Access Identity SSO First Time Login

These steps outline the process that will be followed by a user the very first time they login to PeopleHR, after Access Identity has been enabled on your site.

1. Open the PeopleHR login page using the normal URL. The old SSO sign-in screen is no longer available.

2. Enter your email address.

3. Click Next to proceed.

If you are not already logged in into your SSO provider, then your SSO login will appear.

Please note: The provider will differ per company, but you may see a login screen similar to the below. Please complete the login based on your provider and proceed.

If you are already logged in into your SSO provider, you will be automatically redirected to the Access Identity login page to confirm your email address.

You will then see the following screen explaining that we are migrating you to Access identity:

4. Click Proceed.

5. The Access Identity screen seen above will appear. On this screen you just need to click Next to confirm your email address.
