Multi-SSO Integration for Thinkific
Enterprise-ready single sign on (SSO) for multi-client training on one Thinkific site.
Deliver secure access for multiple organisations, departments, or partner networks — all through a single Thinkific school.
Our Multi-SSO Integration for Thinkific lets learners sign in with existing credentials and go straight to their courses with just a few clicks.
You’ll manage users, enrolments, and reporting centrally, without the overhead of running multiple Thinkific sites or dealing with manual imports.
Why Multi-SSO Integration for Thinkific
Thinkific is an excellent online course platform for growing an online education business.
But when your audience spans several corporate clients or divisions, identity management becomes a challenge.
Each client may have its own identity provider — Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, or Active Directory — and each expects a frictionless, single sign on (SSO) experience.
Our multi-SSO integration for Thinkific solves this by linking multiple sources into one secure, scalable Thinkific account.
With one setup you can:
- Run all clients from a single Thinkific site
- Maintain isolated access for every organisation
- Automate enrolment for specific Thinkific courses
- Track student progress and course completions centrally
- Reduce support dependency and data risk
One Thinkific Site — Unlimited Organisations
How It Works
Our middleware connects through your Thinkific API key, syncing authentication data securely.
Each identity provider handles user verification, then our system places the learner into the right Group in Thinkific.
Step by step guide:
Add SAML metadata for each identity provider
Configure redirect URLs and access rules
Map Groups and enrolment logic
Learners log in with existing credentials
Track activity, student progress, and results in Thinkific
The integration process requires minimal technical expertise, making it ideal for both developers and admin teams.

Automation & User Life Cycle Management
Manage the entire user life cycle without spreadsheets:
Provisioning – add a new user automatically on first SSO login.
Sync data – keep records accurate through real-time data synchronization.
Deactivation – automatically remove users when access ends in their company’s user directory.
Error handling – receive instant alerts if an error occurs during login or enrolment.
This is enterprise-level user identity control inside your existing Thinkific school.
