This guide is intended for Admins setting up OAuth 2 SSO with OpenID Connect.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an open authentication protocol on top of the OAuth 2.0 framework. OIDC is a consumer-focused standard that enables users to access third-party websites with just one sign-on (SSO).
Single Sign-On feature is a part of the Baserow Enterprise offering. Instance-wide features are only available on the self-hosted Enterprise plan. To learn more about the Baserow enterprise plan, visit our pricing page.

When you configure Single Sign-on (SSO) with OpenID Connect, your users can create and sign into their Baserow accounts using OpenID Providers (OPs) such as an email service or social network to verify their identities.
Based on the authentication carried out by an authorization server, you can receive basic profile information about the end user and validate the end user’s identity.
Here’s how to set up OAuth 2 SSO with OpenID Connect to sign in to your Baserow account.
Sign in or create an account with a provider of your choice.
You must register your application with the IdP in order to let users log in using an OIDC Identity Provider. To do this, you must refer to the documentation provided by your IdP as it differs for each OIDC Identity Provider.
Your OIDC Identity Provider will create a unique ID for the registered API during this procedure, typically referred to as a Client ID and Secret.
Once created, you will use the credentials to configure a new OpenID Connect provider in Baserow:
After you’ve accessed this information from the application, copy and paste the information from OpenID Connect into Baserow.
Log in to Baserow. Go to Admin > Authentication > Provider. Retrieve your Callback URL from your Baserow admin settings modal, following the steps in this guide.
Configure OpenID Connect by inputting the URL, Client ID and Secret information into the corresponding fields in your Baserow Admin Dashboard, following the steps in this guide.
You should be able to log in with OpenID Connect after completing these steps by visiting your Baserow servers login page. Your users will now be taken to an OpenID Connect sign-in flow when they attempt to log into Baserow. After logging in with their OpenID Connect credentials, they will be redirected to the app.
