Information for IT Professionals
We support SAML v2.0 protocol, but we do not support the older v1 or v1.1 protocols.
We DO NOT support “just in time” user provisioning through SSO. Quantum Workplace platform users are manually created in the platform by your Quantum Workplace platform administrator(s) unless other methods are agreed upon (e.g., HRIS integration, QW en masse, etc.)
