PD able supports Single Sign-On (SSO)
Seamless Login with SSO Integration
PD able's Single Sign-On (SSO) integration seamlessly connects with your existing workspace infrastructure, providing secure one-click access for your team members. By integrating directly with your organisation's systems, we eliminate login friction and create a smooth pathway to professional development. Your team can now access our comprehensive PD environment as a natural extension of their daily workflow.
SSO ensures a smooth and secure onboarding experience for your team
PD able's SSO integration is built on the OpenID Connect (OIDC) industry standard. If access to your environment is managed through a commercial Identity Provider (Idp) like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Ping Identity then integration is almost certainly possible. No new usernames or passwords - just a seamless and secure flow for your team to access their personal view of PD able.
Key Benefits of SSO Integration
1. Simple and assured on-boarding
- Fast on-boarding: Most of the standard sign-ups steps are skipped, making initial sign-up fast and easy.
- Assured connection: User lands directly within your nominated PD system.
- Immediate impact: Your team quickly lands in space that has context and resonates with expectation. They'll be up and running right away.
2. Ongoing single click access
- One click: Ongoing your team are literally one click away from PD able. From a user perspective it's no different to clicking on any other page in your intranet.
- Instant power: You can't do it all yourself. Accept our rich professional development environment, and offer it as though it were your own.
3. Tight security footprint
- No new credentials: With SSO users don't need to create new login credentials. Our systems talk and accept the login from your side.
- Powered by Microsoft: We use Microsoft for our IdP services.

Rapid On-board Link
A simpler way to get users into your PD System
If you're situation doesn't quite suit SSO, then consider our Rapid On-board Link. This offers a streamlined way to bring your members directly into your Professional Development (PD) system. By providing them with a smart URL, users are taken straight to their dashboard—no need to complete the usual onboarding steps.
How it works
This dynamic link bypasses much of the standard sign-up process. It eliminates the need for users to:
- Enter their profession manually
- Select their user type (since we already know they're not system owners, employers, or education providers)
- Provide demographic or professional details (these are pre-filled automatically)
Where to use it
While this isn't a full Single Sign-On (SSO) solution, it functions similarly in practice. We recommend placing the link somewhere private but easily accessible to your members—such as your intranet or password-protected area of your website. Since this link grants direct access to your PD System and automatically triggers subscription billing, be sure it's only used by your intended audience.
Coming soon
Soon, you'll be able to generate this Fast-Track Link directly from the setup wizard—no need to contact us. This enhancement will make it even easier to on-board your team quickly and efficiently.
