Identity Access Management & Single Sign-On (SSO)
for Staff, Students
Single Sign-on (SSO) is an authentication service that allows system owners to make use of the university-managed identity repository to authenticate staff and students to access various online university services with one set of credentials. Once users log in, they can access entitled university services without having to repeatedly re-enter EID and password.
Examples of services that are authenticated through SSO:
- Microsoft 365 (Email, Teams, etc.)
- Google Workspace (@gapps.cityu.edu.hk)
- Canvas
- CityU Announcement Portal (CAP)
- Protected Web Pages
- Service Portal
- LinkedIn Learning
- CityU Scholars
- Documents Management System
- Zoom
- AIMS

If you have a new service and would like to set it up with SSO, please submit an online CSC Work Request to the Computing Services Centre (CSC). To implement SSO for a new service, the supplier or service must implement SAML 2.0.
