Integrate with Sisense for Cloud Data Teams (formerly Periscope)

Use JumpCloud SAML Single Sign On (SSO) to give your users convenient but secure access to all their web applications with a single set of credentials. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for Sisense for Cloud Data Teams. Save time and avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users.

Read this article to learn how to setup the Sisense for Cloud Data Teams integration.

Prerequisites

• A Sisense for Cloud Data Teams administrator account.
• Your Sisense for Cloud Data Teams domain name.
• A JumpCloud administrator account.

Important Considerations

• Once you save a Single Sign On configuration in Sisense for Cloud Data Teams, you will be prompted to confirm your configuration and immediately log all users out of Sisense for Cloud Data Teams. Once you confirm, neither users nor administrators can log in using their personal credentials. If your configuration is flawed in either JumpCloud or Sisense for Cloud Data Teams, SSO will be unsuccessful and all accounts will be locked.
