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
Unlimited SSO Connections

Connect multiple SAML 2.0 identity providers — Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, OneLogin, and more.

Automatic Group Mapping

Each identity provider maps to a Thinkific Group. Learners are auto-sorted and enrolled into the right content area.

Auto-Enrolment

Courses and bundles can be assigned automatically per group, improving onboarding and saving hours of manual setup.

Simplified Administration

Centralised control over all Thinkific users, enrolments, and course access from one dashboard.

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:

01
Add SAML metadata for each identity provider

02
Configure redirect URLs and access rules

03
Map Groups and enrolment logic

04
Learners log in with existing credentials

05
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.

This is enterprise-level user identity control inside your existing Thinkific school.
