    Step 1
    1. From your home screen, click the menu in the top left corner.
    2. Select Azure Active Directory. 
    Step 2
    1. Click Enterprise applications 
    Step 3
    1. Click New application. 
    Step 4
    1. Search for and select "Airtable."  
    2. Click Add. 
    Step 5
    1. Click Set up single sign on. 
    1. Click SAML. 

    Note
    It's necessary to confirm that the identifier "Entity ID" field in your Azure SAML configuration is set as https://airtable.com/sso/metadata0418.xml. If the URL does not match, then this will prevent a valid SAML response.
    Step 6
    1. Click Download to the right of "Certificate (Base64)."
    1. Copy and paste the "LoginURL."
    Once complete, submit your "Login URL" and "SAML" signing certificate. Learn how to open .cer files in a text editor by following the steps in the Configuring SSO in the admin panel article.

    FAQs

    If another team in my company already uses SSO with Airtable, how does this impact my Business or Enterprise Scale account?

    In Airtable, our system expects Enterprise Scale accounts using shared domains—domains federated to multiple Enterprise accounts—to use the same SAML metadata for SSO. What this means is that if your company has existing Enterprise ScALE accounts with SSO configured, you will need to coordinate with the admins (or IT department) of the other accounts to obtain the current sign-in URLs, x.509 certificates, and ensure that your users have the necessary access to the Airtable tenant present in your company’s identity provider.

    You can configure separate tenants or identity providers for domains unique to Enterprise Scale accounts, as each account can be configured with its own SAML metadata.
