Aha! Roadmaps | Portal SSO | Entra ID
You can use Entra ID as an identity provider for ideas portal users in Aha! Roadmaps based on SAML 2.0. You will need to be an administrator in Aha! Roadmaps and in Entra ID to configure SSO.
If you have multiple ideas portals and want to use a single Entra ID single sign-on configuration between all of them, you may be interested in the Ideas Advanced plan.

It is possible to invite an ideas portal user from your ideas portal settings who has not been configured with the identity provider your portal is using. The user will not be able to log in to the ideas portal until they can be authenticated by the identity provider.
